"Life's a treacherous sea, Dr. McQuick. How are we supposed to navigate it?"

~

"We don't, Thomas. We sail with the flow."

" ...Huh? Like a damn boat without a sail? Floundering about in the waves?!"

~

"No, like a damn boat with a sail, floundering about on the waves."

"Either way we're still floundering!"

"Yes, but with a difference."

" ...Which is?"
