Quote by Emily Byrnes

“I call him little brother but he is bigger than I am and probably smarter too. I still remember holding him in the hospital, bursting into tears because ten-year-old me had never held anything so beautiful. Seeing him all grown up aches a little; nostalgia and pride all balled up in one. I wonder why there isn’t a word for a feeling like that. --Little brother”

“People always think they want to know stuff. Secrets. Answers. Actually, there was plenty of stuff we were better off not knowing. If humans weren't so intent on a quest for knowledge, they probably wouldn't be in such a fucked-up position right now. Not all knowledge was good. And even the stuff that was good didn't always fall into the right hands. Give the wrong idiot a shitload of knowledge and that was when the world imploded.”
