““It makes people feel good to build somethin big. Makes people feel like they're makin progress, I reckon. Progress toward what? It doesn't matter. Up higher or down deeper or out farther. As long as you're movin, it don't matter much where you're goin or what's chasin you. That's why they call it progress. It keeps goin of it's own accord.””
