The Unspoken Thing - Tom Wolfe

"To put it into so many words, to define it, was to limit it. If it's this, then it can't be that... Yet there it was!" (126)

"We are Beautiful People, ascendent from your robot junkyard::::::" (135)

"Huge stripes of Day-Glo green and orange ran up the soaring redwoods and gleamed out at dusk as if Nature had said at last, Aw freak it, and had freaked out." (138)

"There are historical and social lags, where people are living by what their ancestors or somebody else perceived, and they may be twenty-five or fifty years or centuries behind, and nobody can be creative without overcoming all those lags first of all." (145)
