I've already got the prize: the prize is the pleasure of finding the thing out, the kick in the discovery.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.

Lyrics
On a finite plane
in a finite volume
in infinite space
far away from Earth
In the galactic vortex
on the edge of time
in the timeless void
in an infinite search
Starlight on the hull
quasars for position
cargo dock in darkness
my course: galactic north
In a cosmos unknown,
with an inquiring heart,
across the starry deep
I seek my berth.
My perfect haven lies
in the silence of stars,
warm and safe in the dark,
like home within my hull.
There is room to wonder,
there is room to create,
and time enough to think,
as here within my hull.
No madness of the crowd,
no money ruling lives,
no masters and no slaves,
as here within my hull.
Perhaps I found my harbor
long before I knew it:
it was here all along
with me within my hull.
Onward through the silence,
beyond another sun —
my harbor sails with me,
and still I travel on.
