“এত বড়ো একটা গাছ যার চোখের সামনে আছে,তার দিনের একটা মুহূর্তও একলা কাটে না,নীরস কাটে না। ওই গাছ টার দিকে নজর রাখতে রাখতেই সারাদিন ব্যস্ত থাকতে পারতুম আমি। নাই বা থাকলো ঘরে ভাই-বোন, সঙ্গী-সাথী। ওই গাছ ও যে কোনদিন ওই জায়গায় থাকবে না,এ ছিল আমার কল্পনার বাইরে। এত জরুরী, এত মহান, এত বিরাট একটি অস্তিত্ব ও যে নিজের জন্মগত অধিকারে নিজে বেঁচে থাকতে পারে না মানুষের পৃথিবীতে, সেটা সেদিন আমার জানা হলো, সেদিনই আমার শৈশবের জগতে একটা মোটা চিড় ধরলো। আকাশে যেমন চন্দ্র-সূর্য, রাস্তায় যেমন ট্রাম বাস,ঘরে যেমন বাবা-মা,ওখানে তেমনি ঐ বট গাছটার থাকার কথা। অত পাখি, অত ফল, অত ছায়া, এর কোনটাই যে না থাকলে চলবে না।”

“Hey,” Watney said over the radio, “I've got an idea.” “Of course you do,” Lewis said. “What do you got?” “I could find something sharp in here and poke a hole in the glove of my EVA suit. I could use the escaping air as a thruster and fly my way to you. The source of thrust would be on my arm, so I'd be able to direct it pretty easily.” “How does he come up with this shit?” Martinez interjected. “Hmm,” Lewis said. “Could you get 42 meters per second that way?” “No idea,” Watney said. “I can't see you having any control if you did that,” Lewis said. “You'd be eyeballing the intercept and using a thrust vector you can barely control.” “I admit it's fatally dangerous,” Watney said. “But consider this: I'd get to fly around like Iron Man.” “We'll keep working on ideas,” Lewis said. “Iron Man, Commander. Iron Man.”

“They rolled over her − the words − with an unexpectedness, as though something of great importance had been said, but she could not catch their meaning. She consulted the tree, with her ear jammed to its trunk. Then a funny thing happened. A switch clicked inside her and all the fear and terror that had stoked her hopelessness disappeared. The incipient cancerous tumor that had threatened to derail her young life lay severed, and squirmed in a death-throe like the bodiless tail of a lizard.”

“Whenever I feel ‘less of myself’, or as if I am not as productive as I can be, or abundance is not flowing into my life, or I am not laughing and smiling as much, or my relationships seem stuck and difficult, it is an indication that I am losing that connection. It is like being in a ‘bad service area’ where calls drop out.”

“Winter. No one likes winter.” “It gets dark early, I like that.” “Why?” Because that means the day has ended. I like checking days off a calendar—151 days crossed and nothing truly horrible has happened. 152 and the world isn’t ruined. 153 and I haven’t destroyed anyone. 154 and no one really hates me. Sometimes I think I won't ever feel safe until I can count my last days on one hand. Three more days to get through until I don't have to worry about life anymore.”
