The real world has no obligation to be convincing, so it throws up some very weird moments sometimes.

You shine like a beacon in a dark world.

We often confuse what we wish for with what is.

You get on with your own life. Lettie gave it to you. You just have to grow up and try and be worth it.

There are people you do not want to upset in the world - the politically disenfranchized who feel they have nothing to lose, those who feel that the time has come for revolution ... then out on the edges beyond any of those are science fiction fans whose favorite show has been canceled in an untimely way.

When you love something you just don't want to stop talking about it.

Nothing’s changed. You’ll go home. You’ll be bored. You’ll be ignored. No one will listen to you, really listen to you. You’re too clever and too quiet for them to understand. They don’t even get your name right.
