“Men want us not to think. But why? Because we're empty and stupid, that's what they tell us--but what if that's not the truth at all?...What if it's the opposite? Something more combustible? What if men designed the world this way, not because they think we're nothing, but because they sense great power in us and want to press it down or chain it up?”
