“Brand said, fiercely, in a breaking voice, "You're my boy. You can do anything. Anything.”

“I cry a lot because I miss people. I cry a lot because they die, and I can’t stop them. They leave me, and I love them more.”

“Despair isn't very productive. That's the problem with it. Like a replicating virus, all despair can make is more of itself.”

“For most of my life, I’ve believed we’re in the fourth quarter of human history, and perhaps even the last days of it. But lately, I’ve come to believe that such despair only worsens our already slim chance at long-term survival. We must fight like there is something to fight for, like we are something worth fighting for, because we are. And so I choose to believe that we are not approaching the apocalypse, that the end is not coming, and that we will find a way to survive the coming changes.”
