The Martian

"Admittedly, I'm in a pretty bad situation. But I'm still alive."

"I'm not going to die here. I'm going to get rescued."

"Every problem, no matter how complex, can be broken down and solved one step at a time."

"In the face of overwhelming odds, I'm left with only one option: I'm going to have to science the hell out of this."

"I'm going to have to science the sh*t out of this."

"I'm in a Hab designed to support 4 people, but I'm alone. At least that means there's more air for me. Definitely not the point."

"I'm pretty much f***ed."

"I'm not giving up. Not now. Not ever."

"Mars doesn't care about my survival. But I do."

"Every problem has a solution. I just have to find it."

"Innovation is born from desperation. I'm plenty desperate."

"I'm going to make it home. I have to believe that."

"What doesn't kill you on Mars makes you stronger. Or it just kills you later."

"I've made peace with the possibility of death. Now I'm working on the possibility of life."

"The best part about being stranded on Mars is the views. The worst part is everything else."

"I will not let this planet beat me. Not today."

"Being alone teaches you who you really are."

"Technology is only as good as the person using it."

"I need to think like an engineer, not a victim."

"If you're up for the challenge, Mars will humble you."

"The stars look different from Mars. Everything looks different."

"I am very much alive. And I'm going to prove it."

"Every choice I make could be the one that kills me. No pressure."

"I've done something impossible. I've survived on Mars alone."

"The habitat keeps me alive, but only if I'm smart about it."

"I'm going to make damn sure I survive this. Not for anyone else. For me."

"My crewmates think I'm dead. That's going to be an awkward conversation."

"I can't wait to see what's next. If there is a next."

"The laws of physics are the only laws that can't be broken."

"This is going to be harder than I thought. But that doesn't change what I have to do."
