“For this reason, humanity — in all its grandeur and woundedness — must never be replaced or surpassed. We can embrace the technological progress that alleviates suffering and unlocks new possibilities, provided that we do not abandon the very essence of our humanity, namely the capacity for relationship and love.”

“[my father in law] told me I was nothing but trouble. I felt the truth of that. I really am nothing. . . . Nothing with a body.

― Marilynne Robinson
