“FELIX. I can’t stand it, Oscar. I hate me. Oh, boy, do I hate me.
OSCAR. You don’t hate you. You love you. You think no one has problems like you.
FELIX. Don’t give me that analyst jazz. I happen to know I hate my guts.
OSCAR. Come on, Felix; I’ve never seen anyone so in love.
FELIX. (Hurt) I thought you were my friend.
OSCAR. That’s why I can talk to you like this. Because I love you almost as much as you do.”
― Neil Simon, The Odd Couple - A Comedy in Three Acts

“Like a sixty-year-old person on actuarial charts, the habitable Earth is three-quarters of the way through its calculated life expectancy. Earth is about 4.57 billion years old, and the laws of stellar physics tell of another billion years before the sun expands to the point that it bakes the possibility for life off the planet.”
― Neil Shubin, The Universe Within: Discovering the Common History of Rocks, Planets, and People
