“The totality of human endeavor is nothing when set against the stars.”
― Tom Sweterlitsch, The Gone World

“[...]"Come on. Let's run away."

“A moth was a caterpillar, once, but it no longer is a caterpillar. It cannot break itself back down, cannot metamorphose in reverse. To try to eat leaves again would mean starvation. Crawling back into the husk would provide no shelter. It is a paradox – the impossibility of reclaiming that which lies behind, housed within a form comprised entirely of the repurposed pieces of that same past. We exist where we begin, yet to remain there is death.”
― Becky Chambers, To Be Taught, If Fortunate
