“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.”
― The Wondrous Life and Loves of Nella Carter

“That's humanity. We will all lose the ones we love, either them or us. From birth we make our way in this world. The gift is the choice of who we spend it with.”

“If humans can do the worst acts, we can also do the best.”

“When you're a celebrity, people rarely want to tell you "no". How do you think Michael Jackson went as far as he did with plastic surgery? How did Kim Kardashian get away with wearing that Marilyn Monroe dress? Who lets Johnny Depp out of the house looking like he does? Or honestly, who lets him out of the house period? He used to be so hot.”

“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?”
