Character: Mark Watney
... Everyone has dominant over the other instinct is to help other people. Sometimes it's hard to believe but it's true.
If the mountain lost traveler, people organize the search. If wrecked train - line up to donate blood. If an earthquake compares with the city's land - send humanitarian aid from all over the world. This is so fundamental feature of the person, that its reflection can be found in all cultures. Yes, there are idiots who do not care, but they get lost among people for whom other people matter.

Funny death for a person in a leaky space suit: died of excess oxygen.

It makes no sense to make a choice in favor of sentimentality.

The most ridiculous sequence of events led to the fact that I almost died, and even more heinous - the fact that I survived.

In addition, I have duct tape. Ordinary duct tape, which are sold in hardware stores. It seems to improve it, not even NASA.

My salvation must have cost hundreds of millions of dollars. For the sake of one stupid nerd. What was so hard?
Okay, I know the answer. Partly the fact that I represent: progress, science, and the interplanetary future we've dreamed of for centuries. However, the true reason is this: each person is dominant over the other instinct is to help other people. Sometimes it's hard to believe but it's true.

Venkat, pass to the Commission of inquiry, let the witch hunt without me. And when they predictably blame captain Lewis, keep in mind, I publicly refute it. I'm sure other team members will support me.
Also, please tell them that their mother is a whore.
Watney.
P. S. And sisters too.

On Mars there is no magnetic field and no protection from the harsh solar radiation. If I ended up under his influence, I would have had so many cancerous tumors that they themselves would have appeared cancerous tumors.

I started the day with a blank tea. To prepare empty the tea is easy: first pour hot water then don't add.

Your worst moments in life is always preceded by minor observations. A small tumor on his side that wasn't there. Two glasses in the sink when you get home to the wife. The words "We interrupt this program...".

It's not as bad as it seems. That is, I'm still in the ass. Just not as deeply.
