Status Updates From Orbital

"...their beauty doesn’t come from their goodness, [...] and a person is not beautiful because they’re good, they’re beautiful because they’re alive, like a child. Alive and curious and restless. Never mind good. They’re beautiful because there’s a light in their eyes. Sometimes destructive, sometimes hurtful, sometimes selfish, but beautiful because alive. And progress is like that, by its nature alive."

"But when it comes to what got them here, what motives and desires, those things are behind them. They’ve got here, is what they think. You get here and your life starts anew and everything you brought along you brought in your head, and unless it’s needed it stays in your head because this is it now. This is home."
