“There are so many things I want to tell her, so many things she doesn't know; like how I remember when she first came home from the hospital, a big pink blob with a perma-smile, and she used to fall asleep while grabbing on to my pinter finger; how I sued to give her piggyback rides up and down the beach on Cape Cod, and she would tub on my ponytail to direct me one way or the other; how soft and furry her head was when she was first born; that the first time you kiss someone you'll be nervous, and it will be weird, and it won't be as good as you want it to be, and that's okay; how you should only fall in love with people who will fall in love back... I feel an ache in my throat, but i manage to smile. Two conflicting desires go through me at the same time, each as sharp as a razor blade: I want to see you grow up and Don't ever change.”

“In mine, in space, in city and sky, we have lived our lives in fear. Fear of death. Fear of pain. Today, fear only that we fail. We cannot. We stand upon the edge of darkness holding the lone torch left to man. That torch will not go out. Not while I draw breath. Not while your hearts beat in your chests. Not while our ships yet have menace in them. Let others dream. Let others sing. We chosen few are the fire of our people." I beat my chest. "We are not Red, not Blue or Gold or Gray or Obsidian. We are humanity. We are the tide. And today we reclaim the lives that have been stolen from us. We build the future we were promised.”

“Aquí está una de las cosas que aprendí esta mañana: si cruzas una línea y nada
sucede, la línea pierde sentido. Es como ese viejo acertijo sobre un árbol en un bosque, y
sobre si hace un sonido si no hay nadie para escucharlo.
Te mantienes dibujando una línea más y más lejos, cruzándola cada vez. Así es
como las personas terminan pisando fuera del borde de la tierra. Te sorprendería lo fácil
que es romperse fuera de órbita, dar vueltas a un lugar donde nadie puede tocarte. Para
perderte a ti mismo, para perderte.
O quizá no te sorprenderías. Tal vez algunos de ustedes ya lo saben
Para esas personas sólo puedo decir: lo siento”
