“If a Martian (who we’ll imagine never dies except by accident) came to Earth and saw this peculiar race of creatures – these human who live about seventy to eighty years, knowing that death is going to come – it would look to him like a terrible problem of psychology to live under those circumstances, knowing that life is only temporary. Well, we humans some how figure out how to live despite this problem: we laugh, we joke, we live.”

“I was terrible at English. I couldn’t stand the subject. It seemed to me ridiculous to worry about whether you spelled something wrong or not, because English spelling is just a human convention – it has nothing to do with anything real, anything from nature. Any word can be spelled just as well a different way. I was impatient with all this English stuff.”
