Quote by Susan L. Marshall

“Yet, the light outside is not the same. It ticks with madness, expelled by angry bodies. Natural light has been outshone by the fire of angry, wrathful metal. So we hide, away from war and the comforting faces we once shared our lives with.”

“He wondered, as he had many times wondered before, whether he himself was a lunatic. Perhaps a lunatic was simply a minority of one. At one time it had been a sign of madness to believe that the earth goes round the sun; today, to believe that the past is inalterable. He might be ALONE in holding that belief, and if alone, then a lunatic. But the thought of being a lunatic did not greatly trouble him: the horror was that he might also be wrong.”

“Quand les hommes se lèvent de leur couche, ils pensent s'être débarrassés du sommeil, sans savoir qu'ils sont victimes de leurs sens et sont alors la proie d'un nouveau sommeil bien plus profond encore que celui dont ils viennent de se défaire. Il n'existe qu'une sorte de véritable état éveillé, et c'est celui dont tu es en train de t'approcher. Parle aux hommes de cet état, et ils diront de toi que tu es malade, car ils ne peuvent te comprendre. C'est pourquoi il est inutile et cruel de leur en parler.”
