"A toaster! Only humans could invent something so quaint. People cared deeply, about everything, even if it was just the crispness of their bread."
I love when books deconstruct the human experience from a sort of outside anthropological point of view, which is exactly what this book does because Leonard the cat is an alien. It's a heartfelt, heart-warming, ode to the best aspects of humanity. I need more books like this: maybe we're not all bad....
"From what I was able to piece together, commercials were a sort of guidebook for humanity. They told you what salad dressing to buy, what mattress to sleep on, what type of medicine to consume [...] There was so much should, so much that made no sense."
"From my galaxy, Earth is a pinprick, and water is just a color: not a moving, breathing, living thing. Not something to be painted and studied and waded in; you cannot dip your toes in a color, especially when you have no toes."
