• I was neurotic for years. I was anxious and depressed and selfish. Everyone kept telling me to change. I resented them and I agreed with them, and I wanted to change, but simply couldn't, no matter how hard I tried. Then one day someone said to me, Don't change. I love you just as you are. Those words were music to my ears: Don't change, Don't change. Don't change . . . I love you as you are. I relaxed. I came alive. And suddenly I changed!

• [My advice] will one day be found
  With other relics of 'a former world,'
  When this world shall be former, underground,
  Thrown topsy-turvy, twisted, crisped, and curled,
  Baked, fried or burnt, turned inside-out, or drowned,
  Like all the worlds before, which have been hurled
  First out of, and then back again to Chaos,
  The Superstratum which will overlay us.
