"But Axelrod's basic message never left him during those long hours on the chindi. Life is short. Even with the treatments, be aware that a couple of centuries is a desperately brief time in the the grand scale. You get a few visits from the comet (he meant Halley's), and nothing more. Embrace your life, find what it is that you love, and pursue it with all your soul. For if you do not, when you come to die, you will find that you have not lived."
—Jack McDevitt, chindi
