Quotes

tyahas quotedlast year
AM had been as ruthless with its own life as with ours. It was a mark of his personality: it strove for perfection.
tyahas quotedlast year
AM could not wander, AM could not wonder, AM could not belong. He could merely be. And so, with the innate loathing that all machines had always held for the weak soft creatures who had built them, he had sought revenge. And in his paranoia, he had decided to reprieve five of us, for a personal, everlasting punishment that would never serve to diminish his hatred … that would merely keep him reminded, amused, proficient at hating man.
