PHILOSOPHY

"there's only one rule that i know of, babies: goddamnit, you've got to be kind."

"you finally fell in love, i see." said salo.
"only an earthling year ago," said constant. "it took us that long to realize that a purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved."
