"Definitely some retrograde thoughts flashing about in here. Turns out it might take real men who can work the soil to do what we needed to do to survive in the galaxy, or something.

“...I had nothing to do but survive the feeling that some pain is for no reason at all. It became clearer than ever that life is not a series of choices.

“Our lives are not problems to be solved. We can have meaning and beauty and love, but nothing even close to resolution.”
