Ying: No one really appreciates prophets of doom: they're wet blankets.
Frida: Often the problem is not the message itself, but its delivery. It is amazing how inept at communication so many people are.
Satoru: The fact that we communicate at all is a small miracle. Don't expect perfection when dealing with humans. Even a modicum of peaceful coexistence is an achievement.

Dmiritri: Doesn't God look at us that way all the time?

As our civilization edges toward destruction
isn't more than a satire due?

In the future lone rangers won't succeed.

We must learn to work together

Got'cha.

has the best photos of Felicity Feng
half-draped?
