“We all have weak moments, moments where we lose faith, but it's our flaws, our weaknesses that make us human. Science now performs miracles like the gods of old, creating life from blood cells or bacteria, or a spark of metal. But they're perfect creatures and in that way they couldn't be less human.

If they ever learn these things, they won't have to destroy us, they'll be us.”

“We all have within us a deep wisdom, but sometimes we don't know we have it.

“We all have within us a level of tumult, a vibration in our hearts, our minds, our very souls, which we are most comfortable with as “normal.” Like a pebble dropped into still water, that tumult is a result of drama, of conflict in mind or body or both. This sense of normalcy is taught very young, and refined as we become fully reasoning beings. The curse lies in not understanding it.

Because the vibrations, the inner conflict, was needed for us to feel normal.”

For they speak truths that have never been spoken before--truths that the makers of our domestic institutions have tried to ignore.”
