“A man with a great curiosity will never get bored even if he lives millions years!”

“I realized then that a man who had lived only one day could easily live for a hundred years in prison. He would have enough memories to keep him from being bored”

“The years leech at a man's memories, even those he has vowed never to forget.”

“He's getting old. I don't count the years. I don't multiply by seven. They bred dogs for everything else, even diving for fish, why didn't they breed them to live longer, to live as long as a man?”

“I’m bored’ is a useless thing to say. You live in a great, big, vast world that you’ve seen none percent of. Even the inside of your own mind is endless. It goes on forever, inwardly — you understand? The fact the you’re alive is amazing. So you don’t get to be bored.”

“Sometimes,” he said after a second that lasted a million years, “things get broken. And they can’t be fixed.”
