“Pero las manifestaciones de vida inteligente son muy raras... bastante raras... la cosa más rara de la creación...
»Y también la más preciada...
«Porque la vida inteligente es la única cosa que justifica la existencia del universo. Es algo sagrado, digno de fomentarse y de atesorarse.
»Sin ella no hay principio ni fin; no habría nada a lo largo de toda una eternidad, a no ser la confusa insensatez del caos”

As a reread (and a listen this time) I got a lot more from this story about prejudice and survival. The story goes that the inevitable route, but its the journey there that really makes this story great.  The main character is very likable and his plight, even before his sister turns up, is from a heartening point of innocence.
A must read.
