Zoe: "I don't want to be thought of as a freak. Leo said I was like a robot, a machine. I think he's right. My head's been pumped full of facts and figures which I reel out automatically when needed, but, well, I want to feel things as well." The Wheel in Space.
Narrator: "Jamie watched as Zoe considered. He imagined the wheels turning in her head. She was nice enough, but she always had to parade her knowledge like a wee lassie with a new dress." 'War Crimes', Short Trips.
Narrator (Zoe's point of view): "She sat upright in her chair, intent, calm, poised. She never felt more alive than in moments like this, with a system she thoroughly understood at her command, and colleagues in space and down on the moon ready to work with her, and a fascinating intellectual challenge to be met. As if all the parts of her were working together." The Wheel of Ice.
