Quotes 

• Kanamit : Please, Mr. Chambers, eat. We wouldn't want you to lose weight.

• Michael Chambers : What time is it?

  Kanamit : There is no time in space. This is to say there is no chronology that can be calibrated.

  Michael Chambers : I said what time is it, what time is it on earth? Can you tell me that without an exercise in euclidean geometry? Now, just tell me what time it is on earth.

  Kanamit : On earth it would be 12:00 noon.

• Citizen Gregori : People of the Soviet Union would like to ask the Kanamits precisely, and I repeat that to him, precisely what are your motives in coming here quite uninvited? Are we to assume there is no ulterior motive beyond this vast humanity you speak of?

  Kanamit : There is nothing ulterior in our motives. Nothing at all. You will discover this for yourselves before too long. Simply by testing the various devices which we will make available to you. We can show you, for example, how to add a certain very cheap nitrate to the soil and end famine on earth for good and all. We can demonstrate to you quite practically the principles of the force field in which you may cloak each nation with an invisible wall, absolutely impenetrable by bombs, missiles, or anything else. We ask only that you trust us. Only that you simply trust us.
