“Launch is just another point in software’s life. Not the end-all and be-all.”

“Defeat ends when we launch into another battle. Failure has no end: it is a lifetime choice.”

“The feeling is less like an ending than just another starting point.”

“End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path. One that we all must take.”

“But the point is, now, at this moment, or any moment, we're only cross-sections of our real selves. What we really are is the whole stretch of ourselves, all our time, and when we come to the end of this life, all those selves, all our time, will be us - the real you, the real me. And then perhaps we'll find ourselves in another time, which is only another kind of dream.”

“One life passed, another began, then that passed and a third began, and there's still no end. All the ends are cut off as if with a pair of scissors.”
