Maybe there is no saving the humans. If my people kill them all, they die, but if we do not kill the humans, they will destroy the planet, then they will die anyway, and every beautiful thing on this planet will die with them.
It’s a gift to share something hard with someone you love. Means you care about them enough to let them help you.[to Asta]
It is human nature, not alien nature. We do not care if our children die, as long as they die in a ditch and not in the road where they will make it bumpy for our vehicles. Selfish children.[to Asta]
I will do what human failures do. I will ignore my horrible life by being a parent and passing my resentments on to my children.
I saw so many humans today. Humans are gross. But they have each other.
I respect a man with confidence to return to the scene of a rejection.
I just saw an alien take off its head, and there was a human inside! Do I have a human inside of me? How many licks does it take to get to the human?
I have gotten to a place all humans get to eventually. I no longer want to eat my baby.
I don’t understand grief. Don’t make no sense to me. You know, you find a way to step over it and move past it, go around it, but that emptiness, it don’t ever go away.[to Ben]
How fulfilling could it be cooking all day?[Asta Twelvetrees]I don’t know. I mean, why don’t you ask the roof over your head?[Dan Twelvetrees]
I do not like this human feeling of being almost-dead. When I get a burnt potato in my hash browns, I put it to the side of my plate and ignore it. I will do the same with death. I feel better already.
Humans have discovered there is strength in numbers. But maybe the strongest thing in their life is the person they are closest to. Everybody needs a friend, especially when they are in danger.
