"When
evolution selects its agents it does so at a cost. It
makes demands in exchange for singularity and you may
be asked to do something against your very nature. Suddenly
the change in your life that should've been wonderful
comes as a betrayal. It may seem cruel, but the goal is
nothing short of self-preservation... survival."

Mohinder
Suresh's Closing Narration:
"This force, evolution, is not sentimental. Like
the Earth itself, it knows only the hard facts of life's
struggle with death. All you can do is hope and trust
that when you've served its needs faithfully... there
may still remain some glimmer... of the life you once
knew."
