This has to be a statement that reverberates with endless echos:
"In the meantime, I'll revisit some Isaac Asimov or Carl Sagan or Arthur C. Clarke, play Johann Strauss' "The Blue Danube" and think of the late, great Stanley Kubrick, sit down and actually watch Kubrick's masterpiece, 2001: A Space Odyssey or episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation (where are you Jean-Luc Picard?) and keep the candle burning. Magic is out there, it's our imaginations that no longer exist. And this Alice will keep hoping mankind finds wonderland again."
Right on, Alice, right on.
