Bubble Quotes - page 11
In America you can ease into middle age with the accoutrements of adolescence still prominent and suffer relatively minor embarrassment: okay, so the guy's still got his sideburns and rod and beer and beergut and wife and three kids and a duplex and never grew up. So what? You're not supposed to grow up in America. You're supposed to consume. But in Britain it seems there is some ideal, no, some dry river one is expected to ford, so you can enter that sedate bubble where you raise a family, contributing in your small way to your society and keep your mouth shut. Until you get old, that is, when you can become an "eccentric" - do and say outrageous things, naughty things, because it's expected of you, you've crossed to the other mirror of the telescope of childhood.

There are so many amazing young performers now, women are creating so much incredible music that it is simply impossible to ignore it. I was happy to see many more women among the nominees and winners of important music awards than before. Yet there is still too much injustice in the world. Perhaps I feel it so strongly because I grew up in London and lived in such a bubble of illusion. But, having arrived in America and having found the opportunity, in principle, to travel to different parts of the world, I began to understand how strong this problem is still. I'm just shocked, but this is our reality. And I constantly talk about these topics and struggle with this state of affairs.

What your friend told you of his seeing of the time wall is true, Henry said in Boone's mind. I know he saw it, although imperfectly. Your friend is most unusual. So far as I know, no other human actually can see it; although there are ways of detecting time. I tried to show him a sniffler. There are a number of snifflers, trying to sniff out the bubble. They know there's something strange, but don't know what it is.
Clifford D. Simak
Pacifism simply does not resonate in people's everyday realities, unless those people live in some extravagant bubble of tranquility from which all forms of civilization's pandemic reactive violence have been pushed out by the systemic and less visible violence of police and military forces.
