"But it was pointless, it was stupid; he thought about thoughtless things. If I were a seabird … but how could you be a seabird? If you were a seabird your brain would be tiny and stupid and you would love half-rotted fish guts and tweaking the eyes out of little grazing animals; you would know no poetry and you could never appreciate flying as fully as the human on the ground yearning to be you.
If you wanted to be a seabird you deserved to be one."
—Iain M. Banks #UseOfWeapons
