- Whatever this gunk was, it wasn't organic and it wasn't inorganic. Nor was it a mixture of the two. It was as if someone had constructed a representation of a cell made out of artificial materials exactly to scale and, despite the absence of any living components, the cell had somehow come alive, dividing in the standard cell fashion to produce this black ooze.
- Except it wasn't alive. It behaved as if it was, but it wasn't. There were none of the standard bio-chemical processes. The cells needed no oxygen or, as far as she could tell, anything else. It was like finding a rock that could grow,move, and initiate activity, but didn't need to breathe or eat. Except the crystalline rigidity of a rock was completely absent. A flexible rock. A resilient rock which, if you chipped a piece off, would regenerate the missing material.
- Jason X (novel) - pg. 171-172
