“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

― Clifford D. Simak, Way Station

“It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.”
