“Some of us lived different lives, during a different time, in a different universe. We did it on this planet, though.

Yes, I do.""Then what is it you believe?"I looked at him. "I believe that, in the end, even the devils will be pardoned.”

“It is difficult to understand the universe if you only study one planet”
