There was ruin. But amid all that, there was still hope. Hope that things could change. Hope that this wasn‘t the end. Supernova

Quote:- There was something better in life than this rubbish, if only he could get to it—love—nobility—big spaces where passion clasped peace, spaces no science could reach, but they existed for ever, full of woods some of them, and arched with majestic sky and a friend. . .

Quote:- There were long stretches of DNA in between genes that didn't seem to be doing very much; some even referred to these as "junk DNA," though a certain amount of hubris was required for anyone to call any part of the genome "junk," given our level of ignorance.

Quote:- There were things one could do, things so terrible, Val was certain they could make someone stop loving you.

Quote:- There will always be more that can be done to improve, perform, refine, produce. A final, satisfying point of arrival or making it does not exist. Finding our value in what we create may seem appealing and can even be motivating for the short term. But it all too easily becomes an endless hamster wheel of proving ourselves and believing that the next level of creativity is what will bring the security and significance we seek. Instead, what people actually need is a new starting posture.
