“We come from a long line of deviants throughout history, all with the same final destination in the celestial order: death. But not every death is a life fully realized, nor is there any guarantee that you'll make it to the age of ninety. Any history that says I can't live forever is bullshit. Since I was five and as far as I can remember, really, I've hated every breath that I've ever taken. But gradually I started to understand. Do you know what I hate the most? It's time. Heh. How can you defy time and space? What does heaven hold for those who do? Hey, we're the chosen ones!”
― Qiu Miaojin, Notes of a Crocodile

“I am looking for friends. What does that mean -- tame?"

"It is an act too often neglected," said the fox. "It means to establish ties."

"To establish ties?"

"Just that," said the fox. "To me, you are still nothing more than a little boy who is just like a hundred thousand other little boys. And I have no need of you. And you, on your part, have no need of me. To you I am nothing more than a fox like a hundred thousand other foxes. But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world....”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
