Everything was Impossible

　　You are not dead. Gulliver, you are not dead.

　　I kept at it, because I knew what life was, I understood its nature, its character, it stubborn insistence.

　　Life, especially human life, was an act of defiance. It was never meant to be, and yet it existed in an incredible number of places across a near-infinite amount of solar systems.

　　There was no such thing as impossible. I knew that, because I also knew that everything was impossible, and so the only possibilities in life were impossibilities.
