He knew he should have counted. It was the rule to count to ten in his head before he opened his mouth.

Finally, when we're done with it, we may find, if it's a good novel, that we're a bit different from what we were before we read it, that we have changed a little. But it's very hard to say just what we learned, how we were changed. ~Ursula K. Le Guin

Only humans have a brain big enough to do this simultaneously and do it well. ~Edward Hallowell
