Or ... maybe I'm not going crazy. "Maybe I'm some sort of android-cyborg-clone-thing, and I'm just breaking down.
I'm not sure which way is worse.
Dad laughs. "You're not in your right mind, dear," he says. "No, no, no, you're not."
And then
- Silence.
Dad fades away. The reverie chair disappears.
There's just blackness. I remember then that I am in the reverie of something dead. Whatever that thing was, it was dead.
And, just as I'm starting to wonder if, perhaps, I have died, too, I see a light, far away in the corner of the dreamscape. The light isn't soft; it's not glowing. It crackles like silent lightning, burning with electricity, sparks flying out and fizzling in the dark.
I don't know why - it makes no sense, the way dreams often don't - but I want to touch the light.
So I do. ~ Beth Revis

Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search.

"And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end?"

I shrugged.

"You see?"

He leaned back. He smiled.

"When you come to the end, that's where God begins. ~ Mitch Albom

Calvin had been frozen for almost 300 years. After that, he had been quarantined to a laboratory for several days, fed kitten, insulted by a clone, befriended by a mass murderer, operated on by a psychopath, bounced around by a moon rover, and forced into his own feet by an airplane. He felt that it was all worth it just to experience this one moment. ~ Brian Cramer

Amnesia is not the only time you'll forget who you are. It'll also happen the first time you see your own clone. ~ Jarod Kintz

I do not know of any credible evidence that suggests Dr. Zavos can clone a human being. This seems to be yet another one of his claims to get publicity. ~ Robert Winston

There are things I am more interested in than the clone thing. How are they trying to find their place in the world and make sense of their lives? To what extent can they transcend their fate? As time starts to run out, what are the things that really matter? ~ Kazuo Ishiguro

Knowing where you come from is just as important as knowing who you aren't. You aren't your own clone. ~ Jarod Kintz

I wrote my name on the list 10 years ago, and under the date I wrote "In the future." But how'd I know I'd show up, and not my clone posing as me? ~ Jarod Kintz

If artists often get famous posthumously, then there is only one thing for me to do - fake my own death. Or I could just wait for science to give me a clone, and kill him instead. He'll get my credit, and I'll get his money. ~ Jarod Kintz

True Mentors, don't make their mentees a clone of themselves ~ Bernard Kelvin Clive

Look, that was some weird shit, you dying and then returning from the dead. I know it was no accident that you stopped by the Honky Tonk last time you were in town. You were in trouble, Lisa. I could see it all over your face." He paused for a gulp of his beer. "You know what you did to me? You got any idea just how fucked up my head has been since you walked out that door? ~ A. Violet End

In these silent sunless galleries he'd come to feel that another went before him and each glade he entered seemed just quit by a figure who'd been sitting there and risen and gone on. Some doublegoer, some othersuttree eluded him in these woods and he feared that should that figure fail to rise and steal away and were he therefore to come to himself in this obscure wood he'd neither be mended nor made whole but rather set mindless to dodder drooling with his ghosty clone from sun to sun across a hostile hemisphere forever. ~ Cormac McCarthy

I suppose if you take one part asshole and mix one part drugs, then stir in too much money for a man's own good, this is the kind of crazy gravy you end up with. ~ A. Violet End

Since I can barely write two books a year the best solution seems to be co-author projects. My goal isn't to get another writer to clone me ... it's more to produce a book that shares my vision of positive, fun entertainment. ~ Janet Evanovich

Vader might very well be Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, whom Tarkin had fought beside during the Clone Wars, and for whom he had developed a grudging appreciation. ~ James Luceno

It occurs to me to devise mental tests on myself to see if I am who I think I am, but then I think, "I am who I think I am, or I probably am, and a test I conceive and answer about myself isn't a way to test if I'm another person pretending to be me, because no matter how I answer I'll answer like myself, thus falsely proving to myself that I am who I think I am." No, what I need is for my clone to create and administer the test. ~ Jarod Kintz

There is a pent-up demand from people who want to clone their dead children. ~ Gregory Stock

Huxley's Brave New World is set in an indefinitely distant future: it will not be possible for many years to say that Huxley's apprehensions have not proved justified. It is unlikely that populations will undergo genetic and environmental manipulation in the exact way that Huxley foresaw: there will never be a fixed number of predetermined strata, from Alpha Plus to Epsilon Minus Semi-Morons. But as an Italian scientist prepares to clone humans, and as reproduction grows as divorced from sex as sex is from reproduction, it is increasingly hard to regard Huxley's vision as entirely far-fetched. ~ Theodore Dalrymple

If you read one book you are a clone. If you read two books you are confused. If you read ten books you have your own voice. And if you read one hundred books you are wise. (paraphrase) ~ Timothy Keller

I sleep better at night knowing that scientists can clone sheep. ~ Jeff Ayres

But was chance necessary? Hubbard, too, thought about the parallels between the Mandelbrot set and the biological encoding of information, but he bristled at any suggestion that such processes might depend on probability. "There is no randomness in the Mandelbrot set," Hubbard said. "There is no randomness in anything that I do. Neither do I think that the possibility of randomness has any direct relevance to biology. In biology randomness is death, chaos is death. Everything is highly structured. When you clone plants, the order in which the branches come out is exactly the same. The Mandelbrot set obeys an extraordinarily precise scheme leaving nothing to chance whatsoever. I strongly suspect that the day somebody actually figures out how the brain is organized they will discover to their amazement that there is a coding scheme for building the brain which is of extraordinary precision. The idea of randomness in biology is just reflex. ~ James Gleick

A clone's most valuable function would be as a gift giver, because who else but you knows exactly what you want? Only your clone. And besides being the perfect gift, it'd also be a surprise, because it's not like you bought your own gift. ~ Jarod Kintz

How do you know you are who you are? How do you know you're not simply a clone of who you think you are? ~ Jarod Kintz

Pardon me for arguing, Dr. Thomas, but I'm a clone living in a post-zombie America. I'm pretty sure not asking for potential weapons would be a much worse sign. ~ Mira Grant

If I had a clone, he'd better be my equal, and not my better. Can you imagine how I'd feel being jealous of myself? ~ Jarod Kintz

The singer was so heavily auto-tuned she sounded like a Cylon. From the original Battlestar Galactica, I mean, not one of the sexy clone types from the reboot. After ~ Michael C. Bailey

I need to protect myself from myself. And my clone. ~ Jarod Kintz

Tristan looked at me with pleading eyes, as though he could forget for one moment how I was programmed to respond to him - how even now upon hearing his confession, I wanted nothing more than to suck his beautiful cock to fulfillment, to straddle him right here on the edge of this roof, to let him fuck every orifice he'd created on my body. I fought back the feelings of lust, wondering if I'd ever truly be myself again, if I'd ever be free of the programming. ~ A. Violet End

Why clone cats when there's perfectly good Russell Crowe lying around? ~ Celia Rivenbark

I'd rather be weird than a clone of everyone else. ~ Lindy Zart

Style begins with the people passing through one's life, the harbingers we push against and the stylemakers we want to clone. Some are famous, some not. Style grows from admiration, from longing, from discrimination - and, yes, from love. It's all the places you've been to and the people and the moments you've known: the parts you've adopted, to keep forever, and transformed. We wear our history in our hearts and on our backs. ~ Carol Edgarian

To love someone as much as you love yourself, that is the ideal. Especially if that someone is your clone. ~ Jarod Kintz

The real issue in the Christian community was that it was conditional. You were loved, but if you had questions, questions about whether the Bible was true or whether America was a good country or whether last week's sermon was good, you were not so loved. You were loved in word, but there was, without question, a social commodity that was being withheld from you until you shaped up. By toeing the party line you earned social dollars; by being yourself you did not. If you wanted to be valued, you became a clone. These are broad generalizations, and they are unfair, but this is what I was thinking at the time. ~ Donald Miller

Hidan: That was pitiful! What happened there, buddy?
Kakuzu: You should talk. I wasn't the one who fell for a shadow clone!
Hidan: Ahaha, right. You saw that? ~ Masashi Kishimoto

My new book is going well. It's practically writing itself! Actually, what I mean is I'm not writing it, my clone is. ~ Jarod Kintz

You said he was shot by his own clone troopers?" "That was what his recording said. We, of course, had no way to confirm it. Asking the local garrison of troopers if someone may have shot a Rodian Jedi Knight offplanet would attract the wrong sort of attention. But it's stunning in its implications, isn't it? Looked at in that light, it might have been the Jedi who were betrayed, not the Emperor." Not ~ Kevin Hearne

In Star Wars, there was monetary confusion and competition. Despite being backed by metals, credits were refused by planets during periods of uncertainty, such as the Clone Wars. The credit was later known as the "Imperial Credit" and was used by Luke Skywalker to pay Han Solo for transport to the planet Alderaan. Yet smugglers avoided using state-sanctioned money and opted for precious metals like platinum. Those in the Ferengi Alliance traded gold-pressed latinum, a material that could not ~ Kabir Sehgal

Read and listen to one thinker and you become a clone; Read two and you become confused; Read ten and you get your own voice; Read a hundred and you start to become wise. ~ Timothy Keller

We're all going to die sometime, so you might as well die pushing the odds for something that matters. ~ Karen Traviss

I like mirrors as much as the next guy, except if the next guy is my clone. ~ Jarod Kintz

A clone would make a great birthday gift, because it's the only gift that keeps on giving. At least it'd better give me a birthday present every year. It owes its life to me. ~ Jarod Kintz

When I started, I faced a lot of hardships. People used to call me a Rafi clone because I used to sing my favourite singer's songs. Then 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa' happened. It gave me a good break. ~ Sonu Nigam

the scarred face of a clone, the features an echo of so many faces from Vader's past. Rex. Cody. Fives. Echo. The roster of names moved through Vader's mind, each of them a trigger for a memory, each of them a ghost from his past. ~ Paul S. Kemp

Why would you clone people when you can go to bed with them and make a baby? C'mon, it's stupid. ~ Ray Bradbury

I'm in disguise. I'm disguised as myself, and I'm a master of disguise, so that's why you couldn't tell I was in disguise. Not even my clone could tell. ~ Jarod Kintz

I've know Bruce Wayne for over 50 years, and Ive kept an eye on you your whole life. You're not Bruce's clone, you're his son. There are similarities, mind you, but more than a few differences too. You don't quite have his magnificent brain, for instance. You do have his heart, though. And for all that fierce exterior, I've never met anyone who cared as deeply about his fellow man as Bruce Wayne, except maybe you. You want to have a little better life than the old man's? Take care of the people who love you. Or don't. It's your choice. ~ Bruce Timm

No one can tell the difference between a clone and a human. That's because there isn't any difference. The idea of clones being inferior is a filthy lie. ~ Nancy Farmer

My face and body are not my essence. My actions, ideas, and ideals are the stuff of me. My clone will have my face and body, but he won't be me. ~ Jarod Kintz

The first point to remember is that attempts to clone mice have actually been very unsuccessful for at least a decade. Sheep have been successful. So one asks, 'Where do humans lie?' Most people think they are somewhere between the two, but at least there's a reasonable chance they might be clone-able. ~ John Gurdon

Life managed without males for its first billion years, much of which was passed as single cells in a series of warm ponds. Then, in some ancient and neutral Eden, the fruit of the tree of sexual knowledge - a new mutation - persuaded members of a particular clone to fuse with cells from another, and then to divide. That ingenious idea is good news for the novel gene, as it doubles its rate of spread, but is a lot less so for those who receive it, who are obliged to copy the extra DNA. At once, two factions emerge, one keen to force itself upon the other. Thus sex was invented.
Soon one contestant began to cheat. Large cells are expensive, but are better at dividing because they have more food reserves. Small cells are cheaper to make, but cannot afford to split. Their sole chance of success hence lies in fusion with a large cell. The first males had appeared on the scene. ~ Steve Jones

[Cloning] can't make you immortal because clearly the clone is a different person. If I take twins and shoot one of them, it will be faint consolation to the dead one that the other one is still running around, even though they are genetically identical. So the road to immortality is not through cloning. ~ Arthur Caplan

If you are who you associate with, then I am my own clone. ~ Jarod Kintz

A shadow is midnight's whisper, I thought as I shouted at my invisible clone. Killing your own clone is the only time you could commit murder and suicide at the same time by killing just one person. ~ Jarod Kintz

If I could clone myself, we'd be all right. But I can't. ~ LeBron James

If I had my clone take a test for me, it's likely I'd misspell my own name. And I'm terrible at remembering people's names - even if that person is me. ~ Jarod Kintz

Better a soulless clone... than a souled roach. ~ David Mitchell

You mean I'm standing in a room with the Vice President of the United States, a member of the Secret Service and two renegade EIS scientists, and you expect the clone to make the decisions? See, this is why this country is in trouble all the damn time. The people running it are crazy. ~ Mira Grant

He'll think I'll do it, he'll act like I'll do it, and so I will do it. But if he will think differently, maybe I will act differently. But I know me, I know him, he knows himself, he knows me, and he is my clone, so we will each act exactly how we think we will, and we will each act like the other, and this is why I'll have to kill him. ~ Jarod Kintz

I like a man who pauses to reflect, while pausing in the mirror to reflect. I can imagine that such a man would look exactly like my clone. ~ Jarod Kintz

I just think TV is becoming more and more interesting in a way. Films are more and more derivative, you know, whether it's 'Transformers 2' or 'Shrek 5', or it's yet another iteration of another kind of clone of something else. It's a bit depressing in a way. ~ Joe Abercrombie

You don't mind that the war will go on and on?"
"Palpatine could have prevented it. Now it's up to people like you to end it."
Tarkin nodded. "And so we shall. ~ James Luceno

Can you ever really say you know anybody - your clone included? Still, if my clone's birthday were coming up, I'd only shop Buy One Get One Free deals. ~ Jarod Kintz

Some science guy creating them in the lab." Her voice darkened. "One day they're going to make a mistake - a big one - and mutant clone cows are going to revolt and start eating people. You wait and see. ~ J.D. Robb

'Star Trek' is science fiction. 'Star Wars' is science fantasy. Based on the episodes I worked on, I think with 'Star Wars: Clone Wars,' we're starting to see a merging, though. It does deal, philosophically, with some of the issues of the time, which is always something 'Star Trek' was known for. ~ George Takei

We have to wake up. We have to refuse to be a clone. ~ Alice Walker

Before I'll take my clone on as a pupil in the craft of writing, he must prove his worthiness. He must write 100 thoughts down, of which 10 might be interesting. If he's done that, good, then he must write 1,000 thoughts, of which 200 might be interesting. If he's done that, good, then he must write 10,000 thoughts down, of which 4,000 might be interesting. If he's done that, good, then he no longer needs me to teach him, because he has taught himself. And since he would be teaching himself, it would prove that I really am the best teacher. ~ Jarod Kintz

The Japanese scientists just found a 25,000-year-old mammoth in the ice in Siberia, and they're about to clone it ... You think the Japanese of all people would want nothing to do with prehistoric animals after what happened with Godzilla. ~ Greg Giraldo

Chinese national Internet policy is very simple: Block and clone. ~ Michael Anti

Now, once again, we find ourselves facing rising gas prices, and the question is: This time, are we going to learn from the past? Are we finally going to get serious about energy conservation? Of course not! We have the brains of mealworms! So we need to get more oil somehow. As far as I can figure, there's only one practical way to do this. That's right: We need to clone more dinosaurs. We have the technology, as was shown in two blockbuster scientific movies, Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park Returns with Exactly the Same Plot. Once we have the dinosaurs, all we need is an asteroid. ~ Dave Barry

The Boov frowned. 'Everybodies always is wanting to make a clone for to doing their work. If you are not wanting to do your work, why would a clone of you want to do your work? ~ Adam Rex

I'm hiding in plain sight. I'm right behind my clone. ~ Jarod Kintz

In a depression, I'd imagine rich people try to dress like they're poor, and poor people try to dress like they're rich. As for me, I try to dress exactly like my clone would. ~ Jarod Kintz

When I was I younger I didn't want to be gay. Not because I was scared of the sexual thing; I didn't want to be a clone. Now this was in the late '70s. ~ Neil Tennant

It's not really masturbating if you're jacking your clone off. It's more like politics. ~ Jarod Kintz

When I saw you, I saw love. When I saw you naked, I saw lust. When I saw you with my clone in a dream, I saw the future. ~ Jarod Kintz

Out of all the guys she could love, I am two of them. But she chose my clone over me and that hurts. And it feels good. ~ Jarod Kintz

The man who pulled my winning raffle ticket out of the hat said I was one lucky guy. I guess he didn't see me standing next to my clone, so I replied, "I am two lucky guys. ~ Jarod Kintz

I'm older than myself. At least I will be, once my clone gets here. ~ Jarod Kintz

The boy is young, only twelve standard years, not old enough to fight. Not yet. He looks to his father with pleading eyes. Over the din he yells: "But the battle station was destroyed, Dad! The battle is over!" They just watched it only an hour before. The supposed end of the Empire. The start of something better. The confusion in the boy's shining eyes is clear: He doesn't understand what's happening. But Rorak does. He's heard tales of the Clone Wars - tales spoken by his own father. He knows how war goes. It's not many wars, but just one, drawn out again and again, cut up into slices so it seems more manageable. ~ Chuck Wendig

Each woman is made to feel it is her own cross to bear if she can't be the perfect clone of the male superman and the perfect clone of the feminine mystique. ~ Betty Friedan

Encino is a small community in the San Fernando Valley smashed up against and completely indistinguishable from all other Valley communities. You can drive from one to the other, passing the same dry cleaners, dubious sushi restaurants, and gas stations, without so much as a sign to mark your transition. It does, frankly, matter much where are you. If anything at all marks Encino from its clone neighbors, it's that it isn't aging quite as well. Sherman Oaks and Woodland Hills have kept their figures and shown up on time for regular collagen injections while Encino is really starting to let itself go. ~ Ashley Ream

I'm going to spend a lifetime being me, so I'd better like who I am as a person. My clone better like me too, because he'll also spend his whole life trying to be me. ~ Jarod Kintz

Of the female black authors, I really like Morrison's early books a lot. But she's really become so much a clone of Faulkner. He did it better. ~ Leslie Fiedler

If I had a clone, I could list myself as a character reference. ~ Jarod Kintz

I'd like to file a missing person's report - on my clone. It's nearly 2012. He should have been here by now. ~ Jarod Kintz

I don't like the term "Average Joe." I prefer "Dolly," because not only is the Everyman a sheep, but he's also a clone. They all think alike and act alike. ~ Jarod Kintz
