China Mieville Quotes

Teafortwo Was A Wyrman. Barrel-chested Creatures Like Squat Birds, With Thick Arms Like A Human Dwarf's Below Those Ugly, Functional Wings, The Wyrmen Ploughed The Skies Of New Crobuzon. Their Hands Were Their Feet, Those Arms Jutting From The Bottom Of Their Squat Bodies Like Crows' Legs. They Could Pace A Few Clumsy Steps Here And There Balancing On Their Palms, If They Were Indoors, But They Preferred To Careen Over The City, Yelling And Swooping And Screaming Abuse At Passers-by. The Wyrmen Were More Intelligent Than Dogs Or Apes, But Decidedly Less Than Humans. They Thrived On An Intellectual Diet Of Scatology And Slapstick And Mimicry, Picking Names For Each Other Gleaned Without Understanding From Popular Songs And Furniture Catalogues And Discarded Textbooks They Could Just About Read. Teafortwo's Sister, Isaac Knew, Was Called Bottletop; One Of His Sons Scabies.
