Egan Quote of the Day

[aesmael]

    'Burn all your symbols!' I shouted. 'Male and female, tribal and global. Give up your Fatherlands and your Earth Mothers - it's Childhood's End! Desecrate your ancestors, screw your cousins - just do what you think is right because it's right.'
    From Mitochondrial Eve

I didn't think to mention it last time but the first section of Diaspora, 'Orphanogenesis', from which I took yesterday's quote, is available at Egan's website.
