“Then I saw her smile so close to my eye that there was nothing to see but the smile and the thought came into my head that I鈥檇 never been inside a smile before. Who鈥檇 have thought being inside a smile would be so ancient and so modern both at once”

“For Commander Ripley Jones, it was becoming more and more troublesome. It had been said that nothing is infallible, Antares apparently being the proof. After hastily recalling all crew and leaving Spacedock 7 thirty hours ago, there had been nothing but problems. Breakdowns in the sensors and telemetry, system failures of a wide variety and finally 鈥� the Last Straw: a coupling seal in the stardrive engine failed. Fortunately the cut-out worked, or the whole of engineering would鈥檝e disappeared in a flaming ball of anti-matter. Five crewmen were seriously injured as it was. Commander Smith, the Chief Entech, had the offending unit stripped down and under repair. They were currently on conversion drive - which could only propel them at sub-light speeds 鈥� and Ripley was currently in an elevator with a very pissed Captain Falconer.”

“Protest is not a sign of rebellion or disconnection鈥攁t least, it shouldn鈥檛 be. Quite to the contrary, protest should demonstrate love and investment. It should be a sign that we are so invested that we are not willing to settle or surrender.

We protest because something or someone we care about is being hurt or diminished. Protest is not the action of an outsider or someone who is walking away. It is the responsibility of relationship鈥攖hose who refuse to disconnect.”
― Darrell Smith

“But the analogy is even stronger and deeper than the image of the 鈥渋nvisi- ble hand鈥� allows us to infer. Didier Deleule has magisterially analyzed the link between Hume and Smith鈥檚 thought and the birth of economic liberalism. He opposes the 鈥渘aturalism鈥� of Hume and Smith to the 鈥減rovidentialism鈥� of the Physiocrats who are direct tributaries, as we have seen, of a theological paradigm. To the idea of an original divine design, comparable to a project developed in the brain, Hume opposes, as we have seen, that of an absolutely immanent prin- ciple of order, which functions instead as a 鈥渟tomach,鈥� rather than as a brain. 鈥淲hy,鈥� he makes Philo ask, 鈥渃an an ordered system not be woven out of a stom- ach rather than a brain鈥�? (Deleule, pp. 259 and 305, note 30). If it is probable that the Smithian image of the invisible hand is to be understood, in this sense, as the action of an immanent principle, our reconstruction of the bipolar machineof the theological oikonomia has shown that there is no conflict between 鈥減rovi- dentialism鈥� and 鈥渘aturalism鈥� within it, because the machine functions precisely by correlating a transcendent principle with an immanent order. Just as with the Kingdom and the Government, the intradivine trinity and the economic trinity, so the 鈥渂rain鈥� and the 鈥渟tomach鈥� are nothing but two sides of the same apparatus, of the same oikonomia, within which one of the two poles can, at each turn, dominate the other.”

“Tell your king that if he declares war, I will make him armour of ice to shatter every blade that strikes it and that will make his heart too cold to feel pity. Tell him I will make him three swords that, when used in the same battle, will fight with the might of thirty soldiers.”
― Holly Black, The Wicked King
