The bounties of space, of infinite outwardness, were three:... - Kurt Vonnegut, The Sirens of Titan

"The bounties of space, of infinite outwardness, were three: empty heroics, low comedy, and pointless death."

"Mankind flung its advance agents ever outward, ever outward. Eventually it flung them out into space, into the colorless, tasteless, weightless sea of outwardness without end. It flung them like stones."

"A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved."
