“Let them be brave, the old man thought, a prayer to no one in particular – whoever they are, my great grandchildren – let them be brave so they might look back upon this planet from a distant star one day and have forged their own, better place.

God, let them be better than us at the very least.”
― Exurb1a, The Bridge to Lucy Dunne
