It's strange how just the sound of my dad's feet, the murmur of his voice, can change everything. Thing is, for all I know he could be in a good mood. It's just that I've learned to assume the worst. ↗

We will go far away, to nowhere, to conquer, to fertilize until we become tired. Then we will stop and there will be our home. ↗

I think that somebody with the resources and innovation and the idea is going to come out of nowhere and come up with a successful space travel program. ↗
