Period. And he wasn't about to let Drustan interfere with that aspiration. ↗

We must start with the reality that corporations cannot guarantee anyone a lifetime job any more than corporations have a guarantee of immortality. ↗

It seemed weird calling a teenager 'sir' but I'd learned to be careful with immortals. They tended to get offended easily. Then, they blew stuff up. ↗

The immortality of the soul is a matter which is of so great consequence to us and which touches us so profoundly that we must have lost all feeling to be indifferent about it. ↗
