“All right, Miss Cryptic. What's the new plan, then?"
Glancing around the room, Cinder tipped up her chin. "It starts with kidnapping the groom."
Iko's hand shot into the air.
"Yes, Iko?"
"That is the best idea ever. Count me in.”

“This afternoon, burn down the house. Tomorrow, pour critical water upon the simmering coals. Time enough to think and cut and rewrite tomorrow. But today-explode-fly-apart-disintegrate! The other six or seven drafts are going to be pure torture. So why not enjoy the first draft, in the hope that your joy will seek and find others in the world who, by reading your story, will catch fire, too?”
― Ray Bradbury, Zen in the Art of Writing: Releasing the Creative Genius Within You

“Let’s get to know each other. My name’s William, William More, but you can call me Willy. I’m an engineer-chemist who graduated from MIT. So . . . but you’re all alike to me . . . of course, you would be . . . you’re robots. And all your names are that sort of, um . . . codes, technical numbers . . . I need some marker where I can pick you out. Well, well, to you I’ll call . . .,â€� and Willy pondered for a moment, “Gumball, yes, Gumball! Do you mind?â€� “No, sir, actually no,â€� CSE-TR-03 said, agreeing with its new given name. “Ah, that’s wonderful. And then you’re Darwin,â€� Willy said, accosting the second robot. “Look what a nice name—Darwin! What do you say, eh?â€� “What can I say, sir? I like it,â€� CSE-TR-02 agreed too. “Yes, a human name with a past . . . You and Gumball . . . are from the same family, the Methanesons!â€� “It turns out thus, sir,â€� Darwin confirmed its family belonging. “And you’re like Larry. You’re Larry. Do you know that?â€� More addressed the next robot in line. “Yes, sir, just now I learned that,â€� the third robot said, accepted its name as well.”

“Somebody always had to pay, and he was glad it was not going to be him. Meanwhile he had managed to ruin the perfect marriage by turning Dick into a crayfish and making Rachael think that he had run off with another woman.”
