Awakening Quotes

“Without the Dreamscape, we can’t sleep. My parents remind me all the time about stories their parents told them, of how things were in the Manic Age. The time before our bodies were upgraded to sync with the amazing invention called the Dreamscape. Thirty-eight years ago, people actually had to fall asleep on their own and, sometimes, they would toss and turn for hours. My grandparents said when sleep, in its mercy, did come, it often brought with it horrible images I’ve heard people used to call nightmares.”

“We have seen viruses which reproduced themselves in packs to do evil, but we have also seen the atom, which when split in half, destroy itself and the viruses, thus, generating a power never seen on the face of the Earth. A little bit later in eternity, we have met with the nucleus whose individual fission produces in profusion more than what the atom ever imagined. - On the Power of the Little Guy”

Seventh, attempt to return to normalcy; checked. - On Tyranny Through Emergency Decrees”

“In the abyss of our consciousness, we are oblivious to the billions of possibilities surrounding us, our universe is limited by the unfathomable expense of our limitations; we are prisoners of ourselves, not that we want to escape, but we are tied up nonetheless. Our horizon does not extend beyond the eyes of our mind. - On Our Vision”

“PE! This word was comprised of two single letters, which would normally not cause anyone any trouble. They were two single letters that were usually associated with the further words of “health” and “extended life” and therefore, had a positive reputation. However, for me, the P and the E put together was the worst possible combination. Every time they were mentioned, I would sigh in displeasure, my heart rate would increase and I would feel lightheaded. After all, in my mind, PE = exercise and exercise = torture!”
