“If a hiker gets lost in the mountains, people will coordinate a search. If a train crashes, people will line up to give blood. If an earthquake levels a city, people all over the world will send emergency supplies. This is so fundamentally human that it's found in every culture without exception. Yes, there are assholes who just don't care, but they're massively outnumbered by the people who do.”
― Andy Weir, The Martian

As always, words fail when you most want to say the right thing.” “People think they have to say something, and it never makes me feel better.” “I know.

― Glendy Vanderah, Where the Forest Meets the Stars
