    What the hell is nostalgia doing in a science-fiction film?

    When a man hath no freedom to fight for at home,
    Let him combat for that of his neighbors;
    Let him think of the glories of Greece and of Rome,
    And get knocked on the head for his labors.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Travelling, I worry about luggage, prices, and strange food. At home, I am free to broaden my mind by thinking about the higher things.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
