I don't care what the stars say about how small we are. One, even the smallest, weakest, most insignificant one, matters.

Why did they come billions of miles just to stare at us? It's rude.

Even the most sensitive person can get used to even the most insensitive thing. Cruelty isn’t a personality trait. Cruelty is a habit.
