"I've had enough. Of men of whatever shape or age. I do not want flowers, music, poetry. You want to know why? Well, because you are human. You've barely learned to make a pot and already you are fighting over what to put in it! No, no, don't say you're sorry. Don't apoligize and don't say you'll do better next time-because you won't. Its finished...our little adventure among the stars. I have been indulging myself, no more. Engaging in a timeless vanity of man. Pretending with you that it would be possible. Pretending that you wild little things could conveiably raise Egypt again, claim the perceptions of Copernicus and Newto-ha!"
