* ''"I've stood on the moon's surface, I've floated in space, thousands of miles outside of lunar orbit, I've travelled farther than any man before me, and from that distance the earth looks so small. It's not like the satelite photos. They're finite, bordered in white on every side, limited. Space isn't like that. It's like sitting in the front row of a movie theater, so that the screen stretches across every part of your vision, and the earth's just a pinprick of light on the face of it. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I wish everyone could see it like I do."'' <br> ''"When I'm close I can feel the earth, like I'm holding it cupped in my hands, and I think that if I squeezed I could crack it like an egg. There are six and a half billion people on the earth. People who could die if I if I lose control one day, if I mess up. It's a thought that would keep me up at night, if I still slept."'' | * ''"I've stood on the moon's surface, I've floated in space, thousands of miles outside of lunar orbit, I've travelled farther than any man before me, and from that distance the earth looks so small.

* ''"I lost my head today; stopped thinking like a person and just reacted like a ball of power. I ripped a half-dozen houses out of their foundations, uprooted trees, suspended a piece of the world in the air like it was nothing. And as easy as that, I might have cost us Maggie. <br> "I know how he'll use this against us; he'll call us dangerous to be around, a bad influence on children. And he'll paint himself as sweetness and light. I know, because it's what I would do if I were in his shoes. I have to stop leaving us open to his hits; I have to stop letting the powers do my thinking for me and start thinking like a human being again. <br> "But to get Maggie back, I may have to make a deal with the devil..."'' | * ''"I lost my head today; stopped thinking like a person and just reacted like a ball of power.

| β | * ''"Godlike. It's not hard to understand why they call us that. In Pakistan I dove 16 miles below the earth's surface until I hit the mantle, floated in the center of a cavern filled with magma so hot that my clothes turned instantly to ash, grabbed onto a slice of the earth more than two thousand miles square and wrestled the planet into submission. Godlike. Sometimes it's hard not to call myself that, too. | + | * ''"Godlike. It's not hard to understand why they call us that.
