Quote from Dick in The Fifth Solomon
Sally: You know, it's weird. Humans are not very discriminating. I mean, they become as emotionally attached to objects as they do to people. Dick: No, it's not just the objects, Sally. It's the memories and feelings that we associate with them. Tommy: But then where does that end? I mean, we have memories and feelings associated with everything. I'm surprised we can throw out garbage. Dick: Garbage? Who's been throwing out garbage? I thought I was very clear about that! Sally: No, no. He does it all the time.
