The Postman
Quotes from the Book
Where subtlety fails us we must simply make do with cream pies.
But there is one more reason to protect other species. One seldom if ever mentioned. Perhaps we are the first to talk and think and build and aspire, but we may not be the last. Others may follow us in this adventure. Some day we may be judged by just how well we served, when alone we were Earth’s caretakers.
Someone once said that one measure of sentience was how much energy a sophont spent on matters other than survival. Fiben
The best means to an end are not always those that appear most direct.
If only I had a decent sense of humor Ah, well. Where subtlety fails us we must simply make do with cream pies.
