"Ever just looked up in the sky, the stars and heavens open above you, and just thought... '♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ WE ARE COLLECTIVELY LITERALLY HURTLING THROUGH THE EMPTY VOID, OUR ENTIRE HISTORY AND EXISTENCE AS A SPECIES SUMMED UP AS WHAT MIGHT AS WELL BE A SPECK OF DUST TO THE COSMOS AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH'? Y-Yeah, me neither..."

If you were a seabird your brain would be tiny and stupid and you would love half-rotted fish guts and tweaking the eyes out of little grazing animals; you would know no poetry and you could never appreciate flying as fully as the human on the ground yearning to be you.
If you wanted to be a seabird you deserved to be one.”
― Iain M. Banks, Use of Weapons
