Creditors have better memories than debtors; creditors are a superstitious sect, great observers of set days and times

There was once a house built out of memories and inside this house lived a woman called The Memory Snatcher. This woman was my Aunt Beydan. She was a sorceress and as a child I feared she would stalk me in my sleep and steal all my memories until I could no longer remember who I was.

Despite, or because of their faith in miraculous cures, a strain of superstitious belief ran through this proud, emotionally distant family of intellectuals.

The notion that writings created at a time when men huddled in superstitious terror from an eclipse can possibly be a credible representation of the Creator (whatever that word means to each person) is so absurd as to border on delusional.

And many of them have fallen for the 'high-tech superstition' without realizing its superstitious nature at all.

We are all debtors in life,not necessarily because we owe huge sums of money,but because we owe some persons debt of appreciation.
