"Life is incredibly short, yet we're always told that change takes time. For a race of mortals, dicking around just isn't acceptable."

Perfection. Excellence. What a passionate lover. But once having tasted the lips of excellence, once having given oneself to its perfection, how dreary and burdensome and filled with anomie are the remainder of one's waking hours trapped in the shackled lock-step of the merely ordinary, the barely acceptable, the just okay and not a stroke better.

— Harlan Ellison
