Quote context

[...]

- Another thing that nobody made too much fuss about was the fact that, against all probability, a sperm whale had suddenly been called into existence some miles above the surface of an alien planet.

- And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a whale before it had to come to terms with suddenly not being a whale any more.

- Ahhh! What's happening? Uh, excuse me, who am I? Why am I here? What's my purpose in life?

Ancient computers, ranged in the long caves, deep in the bowels of the planet, tick away the dark millennia, and the ages hang heavy on their dusty data banks.

What we demand is solid facts. -No, we don't. That is precisely what we don't demand. -We don't demand solid facts. What we demand is a total absence of solid facts.
