Memoirs
And if we
really fear the darkness, if we really fight against it, then, for
the good of all, let us take our rockets, let us get well used to
the great cold and heat, the no water, the no oxygen, let us become
Martians on Mars, Venusians on Venus, and when Mars and Venus die,
let us go to the other solar systems, to Alpha Centauri, to wherever
we manage to go, and let us forget the Earth....all that matters is
that somehow life should continue, and the knowledge of what we were
and what we did and learned: the knowledge of Homer and
Michelangelo, of Galileo, Leonardo, Shakespeare, of Einstein! And
the gift of life will continue.
-Ray Bradbury
