Titus

Quotes3

  • Titus: [about his dog] Descartes' immediate goal is humanity, as surely as ours is divinity.
  • Titus: Why can't a duffer like me catch a fish? Isn't the answer obvious? Isn't it because at my present level of skill the fish would have to be so damned dumb and utterly unelusive as to not be worth catching? And how much more elusive should a thing as wondrous as a soul be? Fishermen should be the easiest of men to convince to search for their souls, because fishing is nothing but the pursuit of the elusive. How can you be so patient in searching for fish, and so hasty to write-off your soul because you can't see it?
  • Titus: [about Gus' rod and reel] You and I agreed, did we not, that "rodney" is oblivious to everything, say, but some weight and varnish.
  • Gus: We did.
  • Titus: Therefore, does it follow that he is just as oblivious to Gus? Even though Gus is his maker. Even though Gus controls his destiny. Even though Gus' - let's go ahead and call it Gus' - is his essence.
  • Gus: Yes, it follows.
  • Titus: Then, therefore, is it possible that maybe you and I are just as oblivious to the presence of a creator? Just as oblivious to a controller of our destiny? Just as oblivious to our essence. An essence that wields you and I even more deftly than you wield rodney.
