Feeling Quote by Andy Weir
““It's a strange feeling. Everywhere I go I'm the first. Step outside the Rover? First guy ever to be there! Climb a hill? First guy to climb that hill! Kick a rock? That rock hadn't moved in a million years! I'm the first person to be alone on an entire planet!””

![“[Love Wasn’t as They Said] Love wasn’t as they said… It didn’t last forever as they claimed… It is fleeting moments only recognized By those with sight and insight… And perhaps only captured By those patiently waiting as if to see a lightning in the sky… And, like lightning perhaps, we never know…” quote by Louis Yako](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/239/louis-yako-20010_arabic-literature_love-wasn-t-as-they-said-love-wasn-t-as_85936.jpg)
