(Frank Walker and Casey:)
How do you ever leave a place like that?
Because they threw me out! They threw me out and they locked every door back in.
Was it because you built that something that you shouldn't have?
Who told you that?
And is that it? The "something"?
If I could tell you the date, the exact date that you're gonna die, would you wanna know?
How would you know?
Let's just say I did.
What are you, a psychic?
No, that's not the point.
Then what is your basis for knowing?
It's a hypothetical.
It's a stupid hypothetical.
Just use your imagination. All right?
All right.
Okay. Let's accept that there is a world where I know, with absolute certainty, the exact time of your death. Now, you want me to tell you or not?
Yeah, of course I would. Who wouldn't? But what if accepting my death is what causes it? So the answer is yes. I would want you to tell me. But I wouldn't believe you.
You have to believe me.
Why? Don't we, like, make our own destiny and stuff?
What? Who are you, kid?

Casey Newton: You know, you'd think somewhere in the zillions of questions that I was asking you, you could have said, "Casey, that stuff's not really the issue because our future-predicting machine says we're all gonna die."
Athena: We did sort of hint at it.

James Stockdale
From Wikipedia
James Bond Stockdale (December 23, 1923 – July 5, 2005) was a United States Navy vice admiral and aviator who was awarded the Medal of Honor in the Vietnam War, during which he was a prisoner of war for over seven years.
James C. Collins related a conversation he had with James Stockdale regarding his coping strategy during his period in the Vietnamese POW camp. When Collins asked which prisoners didn't make it out of Vietnam, Stockdale replied:
Oh, that's easy, the optimists. Oh, they were the ones who said, 'We're going to be out by Christmas.' And Christmas would come, and Christmas would go. Then they'd say, 'We're going to be out by Easter.' And Easter would come, and Easter would go. And then Thanksgiving, and then it would be Christmas again. And they died of a broken heart.
