Being human is sometimes the most inhumane thing we do. 

..indeed, sometimes things get worse when you tried to protect everything.

"Long ago, men went to sea, and women waited for them, standing on the edge of water, scanning the horizon for tiny ship. Now I wait for Henry. He vanishes unwillingly, without warning. I wait for him. Each moment that i wait feels like a year, an eternity. Each moment is as slow and transparent as a glass. Through each moment I can see infinite moments lined up, waiting. Why has he gone where i cannot follow?"

- Audrey Niffenegger, The Time Traveller's Wife
