“I will use the memory of Pipe to remind myself that I have been damaged as much as I have damaged others, and this is not a special thing. It's just the way my world works. It's been easy to believe, in this room for three months, that I have been at the centre of amazing events. But I'm a tiny part of the intricacies and engineerings of Earth. And I'm not half as clever as I once thought I was. Just as Pipe might be one of so many, I am a drop in the ocean of humanity. We move, we surge, we dash and we flow, and we think that our furious beating upon the far shores of the universe means we are powerful. But we are only the crest of an uncontrollable surge in the tide. Those who rush up from behind to replace me will be just as guilty, and as innocent, as I am. We all have no real idea of where we go, and what we do.”
