China Mieville Quote
When I think of my age I think in years, still, even after all this time and travel. It’s bad form, and ship-life should have cured me of it. Years? one of my first officers shouted at me. I don’t give two shits about whatever your pisspot home’s sidereal shenanigans are, I want to know how old you are.
