"Finally met the famous tod! Literally have to speak aloud sometimes to decode the thick scottish accent
Some parts could be a tad shorter, but I can see Richard Adams enjoys writing every bit of this and I can respect that" — Mar 28, 2025 11:25AM

“People said there was no way to understand Gon. I didn’t agree with them. It’s just that nobody ever tried to see through him.”

“How does one define a “simple” memory anyway? Is there even such a thing when it comes to the human condition? Consider the albatross that landed on the platform during her run this morning. It’s a mere flicker of thought in her mind that will one day be cast out into that wasteland of oblivion where forgotten memories die. And yet it contains the smell of the sea. The white, wet feathers of the bird glistening in the early sun. The pounding of her heart from the exertion of the run. The cold slide of sweat down her sides and the burn of it in her eyes. Her wondering in that moment where the bird considered home in the unending sameness of the sea. When every memory contains a universe, what does simple even mean?”

“Ando, a vida inteira, sobretudo à caça de satisfação para uma angústia constante que se prende a tudo, a ter e não ter, sentir que nunca nada está completo, que nunca tempo algum é suficiente. Falta-me tempo, quero mais, e quero gente e quero corresponder, pertencer genuinamente a cada lugar e melhorar os lugares e melhorar tudo, e ser um pouco feliz no meio de tanta coisa, tanta coisa que nem entendo, não chego a conhecer, não sou sequer inteligente o bastante para as aventuras todas. E digo angústia porque fica no ar um lado mais existencial e filosófico do que a constatação sempre tão violenta da tristeza, alguma tristeza, e a vida faz-se de andar entre alguma tristeza e procurar saída.”

“We must know that we can never escape the common misery and that our only justification, if indeed there is a justification, is to speak up, insofar as we can, for those who cannot do so.”

“Space is one of the few places where time makes sense to him. He knows, on an intellectual level, that when he looks at any object, he’s looking back in time. In the case of his own hand, it takes the light a nanosecond—one billionth of a second—to transport the image to his eyes. When he looks at the research station from half a mile away, he’s seeing the structure as it existed 2,640 nanoseconds ago. It seems instantaneous, and for all intents and purposes, it is. But when Barry looks into the night sky, he’s seeing stars whose light took a year, or a hundred, or a million to reach him. The telescopes that peer into deep space are looking at ten-billion-year-old light from stars that coalesced just after the universe began.”
