Character: Barton George Dawes

Whimpering and whining - for the weak.

Aging - it's like driving in the snow which is getting deeper and deeper. And when you turn it on wheels just start to slip into place. This is the life. And no snow plows won't come to you for help. And the ship will never sail for you. And lifeboats is not for anyone. And you will never win. You will not remove the operator, and there was nobody who'd follow your struggle. This is the life.

... he felt like a traitor, like a farmer who soothes his cow on the way to slaughter.
