“Each of those under transport is a human being with a different face and mind, and at the same time each is a nameless part of the collective entity. Each is simultaneously a self-contained whole and a mere part.”

"It's not as if our lives are divided simply into light and dark. There's a shadowy middle ground.”

This book felt like a fleeting dream.

I feel like I need to re-read this one because I didn't give it the proper focus and thought that it required. I definitely think there were some hidden meanings that I missed, and I didn't fully appreciate what this book was trying to do. Will give a proper review after I've reread it.
