“That’s something I’m doing. That’s not my reason for being. When I am done with this, I will do other things. I do not have a purpose any more than a mouse or a slug or a thornbush does. Why do you have to have one in order to feel content?”

“It is difficult for anyone born and raised in human infrastructure to truly internalize the fact that your view of the world is backward.“
