“Living is the easiest thing in the world. Your mom pushes, a man in a white coat on the other side of the uterus pulls. Out you pop, and someone cuts your umbilical cord. You start crying. The lights are too bright. Air enters your lungs. Air exits your lungs. Air enters your lungs. Air exits. Air enters. Exits. It's a piece of cake. A walk in the park. You're alive. Living is the easiest thing in the world. Surviving ... that's another story. They attack you with pitchforks, they attack you with batons. They attack you with axes, with diseases, with cars. They come at you with tsunamis, with earthquakes, with a stroke. With a malignant tumor, a benign tumor, malignant tumor, benign tumor, malignant tumor. Let's see you get out of that alive.”

“There are moments in history when a technological invention bursts into the world and all of humanity watches with a mixture of appreciation and fear: appreciation of its huge potential, and fear of the equally huge danger that lurks within it. Atomic energy, artificial intelligence, and human cloning are just a few examples of promising inventions that can give humanity so much--but can also take everything away.”
