Snow, one of the other scientists on the space station, who says in the book's
most frequently quoted passage:
We are humanitarian and chivalrous; we don't want to enslave other races, we
simply want to bequeath them our values and take over their heritage in exchange.
We think of ourselves as the Knights of the Holy Contact. This is another lie. We
are only seeking Man. We have no need of other worlds. We need mirrors. (§6:72)"
