The Earthling has no future for he permits no change.

On the Earthling's melancholy

The Earthling presents no mystery onto himself; when a new Earthling is born he or she is not an enigma for the precise answer to the question of who and what he or she will be, the exact meaning of his life, is known in advance; he or she is and will remain Essentially, fundamentally this or that. There is nothing in the galaxy that will change this account of him or her  - nothing may be taken away or added to them.

The Earthling

The Earthling chooses his terrible unchanging certainties, his Essential truths, over whole planets of possibilities.
