“You guys treat me like an equal. When I was designing weapons systems, these macho generals would strut around, looking at us like we were insects or something they had to scrape off the bottom of their shoe. Sure, they liked the toys we gave them, but they detested us for being able to deliver. It was like high school all over again, in the cafeteria, with the military guys sitting by themselves like a bunch of jocks and the rest of us hanging around the fringe, hoping to get noticed. Kinda pathetic, really.”

“There are three kinds of people: the ones who need to be accepted and copy anything that can help them get admiration, so that they can exchange their identity for respect. Then, you have the ones who have given up on wanting to be accepted and impose their will on others in order to exchange fear for acceptance. Finally, you have those who simply are as they wish to be, and they can be happy one way or another. These are difficult to find and when found difficult to understand for the others, although all seek the same, which is a self-awareness through the meaning of life.”
