- Martin Teague: Sir? If you don't mind my asking... why a box?
- Arlington Steward: Your home is a box. Your car is a box on wheels. You drive to work in it. You drive home in it. You sit in your home, staring into a box. It erodes your soul, while the box that is your body inevitably withers... then dies. Where upon it is placed in the ultimate box, to slowly decompose.
- Martin Teague: It's quite depressing, if you think of it that way.
- Arlington Steward: Don't think of it that way... think of it as a temporary state of being.

Meant to Be - Walter Meego
“I like Walter Meego”, she said, far less sheepishly than I seem to recall as time passes and my mind re-interprets its own cherished memories. We ventured to find them, but it was too late, so we returned to our original spots to listen to the sound surrounding us, all the while finding our own way to communicate, and project, the inevitable.
There’s a common misunderstanding among all the human beings who have ever been born on the earth that the best way to live is to try to avoid pain and just try to get comfortable. You can see this even in insects and animals and birds. All of us are the same.
A much more interesting, kind, adventurous, and joyful approach to life is to begin to develop our curiosity, not caring whether the object of our inquisitiveness is bitter or sweet. To lead a life that goes beyond pettiness and prejudice and always wanting to make sure that everything turns out on our own terms, to lead a more passionate, full, and delightful life than that, we must realize that we can endure a lot of pain and pleasure for the sake of finding out who we are and what this world is, how we tick and how our world ticks, how the whole thing just is.
