"Rest enough for the individual man, too much and too soon, and we call it
death. But for man, no rest and no ending. He must go on, conquest beyond
conquest. First this little planet and all its winds and ways, and then all the
laws of mind and matter that restrain him. Then the planets about him, and, at
last, out across immensities to the stars. And when he has conquered all the
deep space, and all the mysteries of time, still he will be beginning."
-H.G. Wells
