We don't know why light travels at a constant speed forever. All we can do is observe and record patterns.”

I remember the album cover and the name, but the music didn't fit into the patterns of my brain at that point. It was like someone trying to tell a monkey about spirituality or computers, you know, it just didn't compute.”
