For [mankind], the main troubles will stem from the fact that his culturally operated advances will race ahead of any further genetic ones. His genes will lag behind, and he will be constantly reminded that, for all his environment-molding achievements, he is still a very naked ape.
We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic cords of memory will swell when again touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature.
okay i am totally not here and instead catching up on nano, but the graveyard book! so much love! it is so unbelievably wonderful! (i feel like we have gone over this mutual love in detail, but, whatecver.)
in return, i will quote some at you:
"Us in the graveyard, we want you to stay alive. We want you to surprise us and disappoint us and impress us and amaze us."
(also, haha, this may be a Private Post that other people are not supposed to comment on. if so: SORRY. you can totally delete this comment! i am functionally retarded!)
I do not think people need to ever stop going over in detail how amazing The Graveyard Book is! :D

(continue to invade my life wherever and whenever you want. :D)

"I want to see life. I wast to hold i in my hands. I want to leave a footprint on the sand of a desert island. I want to play football with people," he said, and then he paused and he thought. "I want everything."
"Important thing is not the me that's lying here, but the me that's sitting on the edge of the bed looking back at me, and the me that's downstairs cooking supper, or out in the garage under the car, or in the library reading. All the new parts, they count. I'm not really dying today. No person ever died that had a family."
