Quotes from this work
[W]e, whom the cosmos shaped for a billion years to fit this place, we know it failed. For we can reshape, reach an arm through the bars and, Escher-like, pull ourselves out.
And while whales feeding on mackerel are confined to the sea, we climb the waves, look down from the clouds.
