Quote #7
What will tomorrow bring? What will I turn into tomorrow? (25.39)
The terror here comes from the unknown: from the lack of plans and dreams to chart a course for us. Ironically, that same terror also helps "clear the field" as it were, and come up with plans and dreams that never would have occurred to the character otherwise.
Quote #8
My dear, you are a mathematician. You're even more, you're a philosopher of mathematics. So do this for me: Tell me the last number. 30.11
A rather ironic queston ultimately speaks to the persistence of dreams. There can be no last number, and thus there will never be an end to dreams, no matter what the State wishes.
