Mark Bowden quotes:

Excited. In a good way. I've been training my whole life for this.

It's what you do right now that makes a difference.

...Which brings me to the Hubble Space Telescope's newest images. If it's wonder that you're looking for, and mystery, don't just scan the photographs. Stop and think about them. Try to imagine the scale. The Earth is just a speck of dust on one distant whirling tentacle of the Milky Way galaxy, which contains billions of stars. A 'collision' of galaxies seems unimaginably large - and yet it is something scientists long ago imagined... The imaginings of pseudoscience are feeble by comparison.

Do me a favor, okay? Tell my parents that I fought well today. And tell them that I... that I... that I fought hard.

No one gets left behind, you know that.

These problems have been here so long that the only way I've been able to function at all is by learning to ignore them. Else I would be in a constant state of panic, unable to think or act constructively.
