“I've read books about immortality, vampires that live forever, people who never age. They think the worst thing is death. Death is the easy part. What they miss is the loneliness, all consuming, that occurs as everything and everyone slips away, lost to the sands of time.”

“Love is not about saying this is where I belong. It's about being completely, hopelessly, profoundly unable to belong anywhere else.”

“We don't know how to communicate meaningfully with chimpanzees. Assessing the effort we invest in trying to get big brained mammals to do what we say, we tend to measure their intelligence by an ability to understand us, rather than measure our intelligence by an ability to understand them. Since we can't meaningfully communicate with any other species on earth, not even those genetically closest to us, how audacious of us to think we can converse at all with intelligent alien life upon first meeting them?”

“Monsters should look like monsters, John thought. Otherwise it was unfair.”
