“I've always hated change. I've always hated when time marched on and wished that sometimes it would just stand still for a while. But time can never stand still, because if I stay in this moment forever, I miss all of the things that I could have seen and done because I am a finite, flawed creature, blinded by the moment so much that I can't entertain the possibility that the future will be better. But it's always better, whether we see it or not. It's better because it's progression. It's growth. You have to appreciate things when you have them, and then let them go. I love this moment. But now... it's gone. Just like that.”

“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”
