— Ей, чуєш! Гугін! Чи Мунін! Чи що ти там таке!

- Скажи «Невермор».
- Пішов ти нахуй, — відповів ворон.

“— Чи думав ти колись, що значить бути богом? — запитав господар. Він носив бороду і бейсболку. — Це значить проміняти своє смертне буття на можливість стати мемом: тим, що вічно житиме у людській свідомості. Ніби мелодія колискової. Це значить, що кожен може відтворити тебе у своїй голові. Ти вже заледве маєш самість. Натомість ти складаєшся із тисяч іпостасей того, чим ти маєш бути на потребу людей. І кожен хоче від тебе чогось свого. Нічого певного, нічого сталого.”
