“Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave. They just might stop us from making the same damm insane mistakes!”

“How in hell did those bombers get up there every single second of our lives! Why doesn't someone want to talk about it! We've started and won two atomic wars since 2022! Is it because we're having so much fun at home we've forgotten the world? Is it because we're so rich and the rest of the world's so poor and we just don't care if they are? I've heard rumors; the world is starving, but we're well fed. Is it true, the world works hard and we play? Is that why we're hated so much? I've heard the rumors about hate too, once in a long while, over the years. Do you know why? I don't, that's sure! Maybe the books can get us half out of the cave. They just might stop us from making the same damn insane mistakes!”

“God loves us so much that he doesn’t let us live forever so we can stop making mistakes”

“Life is funny like that, making us pay for the same stupid mistakes even after we've learned from them thoroughly.”

“Poor bastards," Cole said, his gaze still on the stars. "They must get pretty tired of watching us make the same damn mistakes all the time.”

“But I'm insane. You're crazy. Maybe that's why, We can just make crazy together.”
