{{quote|"Lost somewhere, between immensity and eternity, is our tiny planetary home, the Earth. For the first time we have the power to decide the fate of our planet, and ourselves. This is a time of great danger, but our species is young and curious and brave. It shows much promise. In the last few millennia we have made the most astonishing and unexpected discoveries, about the cosmos, and our place within it."|'''[[Carl Sagan]]''', First episode of ''[[Cosmos]]''}}
 
{{quote|"We, who cannot even put our own planetary home in order, riven with rivalries and hatreds, are ''we'' to venture out into space? By the time we're ready to settle even the nearest other planetary systems, we will have changed. The simple passage of so many generations will have changed us. Necessity will have changed us. We're... an adaptable species. It will not be ''we'' who reach Alpha Centauri and the other nearby stars, it will be a species very like us, but with more of our strengths, and fewer of our weaknesses - more confident, far-seeing, capable, and prudent. For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness. What wonders, undreamt of in our time, will we have wrought in another generation, and another? How far will our nomadic species have wandered by the end of the next century... and the next millenium?<br />
Our remote descendants, safely arrayed on many worlds through the solar system, and beyond, will be unified. By their common heritage, by their regard for their home planet, and by the knowledge that ''whatever other life may be'', all the humans in the entire Universe come from Earth. They will gaze up, and strain to find the [[Insignificant Little Blue Planet|blue dot]] in their skies. They will marvel at how vulnerable the repository of all our potential once was, how perilous our infancy, how humble our beginnings... how many rivers we had to cross, before we found our way."|'''Carl Sagan''', A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=iv&v=mTumUJq0CfU&annotation_id=annotation_198192 video] based on ''Pale Blue Dot''}}
 
{{quote|''"Like you said, we humans are weak. We die easily. But no matter how weak we are, even if we're being chopped to bits or stabbed to death, we still want to live. [[Cold-Blooded Torture|I'm gonna give you a little taste of what it feels like!]]"''|'''[[Berserk|Guts]]''', ''to the Snake Baron''.}}
 
{{quote| ''So it's actually not about [[Squick|seducing and]] [[Unfortunate Implications|nailing disabled girls]]. [[Disabled Love Interest|The girls happen to have disabilities]], [[Better Than It Sounds|but the more you get to know them, the more you come to realise that they are girls just like any other]]. They are humans with hopes and dreams, and messy, f*cked up insecurities about being alive and happy. They are not strange people - they are regular ordinary human beings who feel the way they feel not because they are disabled, but because they are ordinary. They are the universal allegory for humanity; the archetypal human; the mess you become when you feel sad and alone and unworthy. They are the [[Girl Next Door]], the [[Alpha Bitch|prom]] [[Spoiled Sweet|queen]], the [[bookworm]], the [[tomboy]], and all the baggage that comes with that - nothing [[Inspirationally Disadvantaged|more]] or [[Disabled Means Helpless|less]].}}
 
{{quote| They resonate with you because you recognise your flaws and needs and desires and triumphs and victories, and those [[Power of Love|of the loved ones you know and care about]]. [[You Are Better Than You Think You Are|You want to make them happy, because you want them to be happy,]] [[Power of Trust|because you know them]] [[Not So Different|and are them]], and in some way you believe everyone you love [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy|deserves to be happy]].}}
 
{{quote|[[You Are Not Alone|You are not alone,]] [[Heartwarming Moments|and you are not strange.]] [[I Am What I Am|You are you,]] [[Humans Are Flawed|and everyone has damage.]] [[Rousseau Was Right|Be the better person.]]''|'''[http://i.imgur.com/9JeSr.jpg A message from Four Leaf Studios]''', independent developer of ''[[Katawa Shoujo]]''}}
