"When you bring back a long-extinct species, there's more to success than the DNA."

-Ray Nayler, The Tusks of Extinction

"But there were links [to memories] that were broken as well. That no longer led to other memories. Were those memories still there, disconnected but whole, like planets that had escaped the gravity of their systems to drift forever in the darkness between the stars? Or had those memories dissolved over time, dissipated to relieve the neurons of the task of maintaining that connectivity?"

-Ray Nayler, The Tusks of Extinction

"He was afraid to lose this memory. He returned to it often, like a person checking their pockets to make sure their keys were still there. He had lost so many memories of her. The further away he moved from the day of her death, the more she faded. So he had named this memory "Corsica" to give it a place in his mind. And he had given names to other memories of her, often associated with maps or with her talking about maps. He had memories of her named Astrakhan, Colchis, Wakhan, Gondwanaland, Ashgabat, Cyclades, Alkebulan, Thebes..."
