It's a quote from Avengers #58, origin of the Vision.

Quote:

I guess that's why it's not human nature.

Quote:

The pressures of work are mounting up, I admit. But today's distraction was trying to get Amazon's Audible to give me my free copy of my Gideon Cain audiobook. I've been trying to make sense of their system and "promo codes" for two hours and have now given up.

Quote:

Their promo codes are always terrible. I still haven't been able to use one with Amazon Web Services.

Quote:

Does she miss the cereal brands from home?

Quote:

Not really, she's not particularly brand loyal. She wanders around the cereal aisle looking for something fun and tasty.

Quote:

I think we have to assume that with certain differences the music and movie industries are common to both her worlds.

Quote:

I have an interesting philosophy about that: In a world where superheroes are common, there probably are very few successful superhero movies, because they aren't fantasy anymore.

Quote:

Music and movies are driven by the content of the society they're in. So the music of the PV probably refers to more ridiculous things than the music of her home. Generally the same, though, because music evolves worldwide about the same.

Quote:

After a while, remembering five hundred funeral anniversaries each day of the year has got to be a downer.

Quote:

Long-term memory won't hang on to the memories that long. An immortal likely can remember about the last 20-30-ish years clearly. Which leads to a different problem of lamenting all of the people they've forgotten.

Quote:

Faite abandons her previous life just beyond that point so she doesn't have to worry about remembering all of the people she's forgotten.
