China Mieville Quotes

One Day I Realized That I No Longer Dreamed Of What I Would Do When I Was Whole Again. My Will Burned To Reach That Point, And Then Suddenly Was Nothing. I Had Become Nothing More Than My Desire To Fly. I Had Adjusted, Somehow. I Had Evolved In That Unfamiliar Region, Plodding My Stolid Way To Where The Scientists And Remakers Of The World Congregated. The Means Had Become The End. If I Regained My Wings, I Would Become Someone New, Without The Desire That Defined Me. I Saw In That Spring Damp As I Walked Endlessly North That I Was Not Looking For Fulfilment But For Dissolution. I Would Pass My Body On To A Newborn, And Rest.
