The only thing driving us on was greed.
Fucking greed. The only thing in the universe stronger than fear.

Beyond the Aquila Rift (2016)

The universe always feels old, though. That’s a universal truth, a universal fact of life. It felt old for her, already cobwebbed by history. Hard for us to grasp, I know.
