“I talk about going to [George W. Bush's] Inauguration and crying when he took the oath, 'cause I was so afraid he was going to wreck the economy and muck up the drinking water'... the failure of my pessimistic imagination at that moment boggles my mind now.”

And then we will be something more than clever apes, and we shall dance with God.”
― Mary Doria Russell, The Sparrow
