Here are some of my favorite quotes:
Do not let destiny decide what you can and cannot do. For what you do now determines what you do later. Not some unseen force. For destiny is whatever you want to make it. All you have to do is reach for the stars.
-- Derian Tericate
Life is a miracle which has been meticulously analyzed and studied for trepidation of what might come as consequence. Take the example of the invention of the weapon. It gained all sentient beings the ability to protect their homes, livestock, family et cetera from the quote ‘wild animals’ unquote. But the weapon ironically is a double-edged sword. With the creation of the armament came the sealing of our own fate. One way or another, the search for life will bring about similar repercussions. We as a human species are innately a blood hungry people requiring dominance of a lesser species to display our supposed supremacy. We ridicule those who bite the hand that feeds them, when we do precisely the very thing which we despise.
-- Derian Tericate
As we began our trek across the galaxy I honestly believe that we human beings will for some malicious reason treat these newcomers with hostility. And in return we should expect hostility. Take these words to heart you future leader. For what you say and do will be forever inscribed in the eternal book of man’s history. The last thing that would be desirable would be to start this historic flight on the wrong foot. For if the barbaric ways that will forevermore remain sealed in our veins leap from us to these extraterrestrials, then are imminent in intergalactic dealings will be tarnished. So you out there who read this now allow this to inspire you to be kind to those around you. If we commence power struggles amongst ourselves should we really expect to be on friendly relations with them? Answer this question in your heart and prepare for the time when indeed it will come into use. Do not scoff at my words for what I say is true. In your mind you must acknowledge this.
-- Derian Tericate
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
-Elie Wiesel
Luck favors those that are humble
-- Apocalyptica (as far as I know)
Let me just say this now that there is no Derian Tericate as you probably guessed from the ridiculous name. He is just a figment of my imagination and should not, under any circumstances, be considered real. He is a made up character from a science-fiction novel that has been in the works for three years now.
I will leave now you (finally) with my signature smile. [^_^] [~_~] ['_'] [*_*]
