Status Updates From Stardance (novella)

“… This is what it is to be human: to perpetually ask the unanswerable questions, in the hope that the asking of them will somehow hasten the day when they will be answered. This is what it is to be human: to strive in the face of the certainty of failure. This is what it is to be human: to persist… For this is what it means to be human: to laugh at what another would call tragedy.”

“Nothing is wasted. Maybe you can't beat gravity—but it surely is a beautiful thing to try.”
