Chaos is impatient. It's random. And above all it's selfish. It tears down everything just for the sake of change, feeding on itself in constant hunger. But Chaos can also be appealing. It temps you to believe that nothing matters except what you want. And there was soooo much that I wanted.

— Carter Kane

If freedom is considered the greatest ideal of Human existence, the time to look for it on Earth is dwindling, but it is not yet an impossible ideal to strive for if we seek it in a novel way. I regard this dream of starting new societies with widespread space migration into multiplying space habitats as the greatest long term hope for Humanity for this reason above all. This is the best long term prospect for people who hope to preserve some kind of cultural identity and personal freedom in the future.

Men go into space .. to see whether it is the kind of place where other men, and their families and their children, can eventually follow them. A disturbingly high proportion of the intelligent young are discontented because they find the life before them intolerably confining. The moon offers a new frontier. It is as simple and splendid as that.

The dinosaurs became extinct because they didn't have a space program. And if we become extinct because we don't have a space program, it'll serve us right!

Don't tell me that man doesn't belong out there. Man belongs wherever he wants to go -- and he'll do plenty well when he gets there.

For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us, we shall be made a story and a by-word through the world. We shall open the mouths of enemies to speak evil of the ways of God, and all professors for God's sake. We shall shame the faces of many of God's worthy servants, and cause their prayers to be turned into curses upon us till we be consumed out of the good land whither we are going.

— Governor John Winthrop

Not only is Byron a terrible character because of his inherent awfulness, but also because he encrapulates everything around him. Not even continuity can survive Byron’s gravitational singularity of pointlessness.

"'Americans,' he said, quoting his wife's letter to The Times, 'are forever searching for love in forms it never takes, in places it can never be. It must have something to do with the vanished frontier.'"
