Fragments

Jimmy Carter's message on the Voyager 1 spacecraft (1977):

We cast this message into the cosmos. It is likely to survive a billion years into our future, when our civilization is profoundly altered and the surface of the Earth may be vastly changed...

...We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours.

'Tears in rain' monologue from Blade Runner (1982), delivered by the replicant Roy Batty

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe,

Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion,

I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate,

All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

Time to die.
