BioBut the lies we live will always be confessed in the stories that we tell, and I am no exception.
Amauri shook his head. "Oh, Mother Earth. Whatever got into you?"
"Just caught a cold," Vladimir said, and then laughed. "A virus. Called humanity."
-Orson Scott Card
Anything that can be done to a rat can be done to a human being. And we can do most anything to rats. This is a hard thing to think about, but it's the truth. It won't go away because we cover our eyes.
"I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But as much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking."
-Carl Sagan
"[...] in breathless suspense, we follow the hero and the heroine, as, after a violent death, they are given a brief second chance for happiness on the earth." "Nevertheless, the two main characters meet tragedy because they remain enslaved to their past, not recognizing the liberty of action which they are capable of exercising [...]"
-Jean-Paul Sartre, Les Jeux Sont Fais
"Absurd as these people may seem, their obsession with a perverse pleasure is no stranger than any other pleasure that seduces its seekers from the society of normal human beings. Drug users, homosexuals, corporate takeover artists, steroid-popping bodybuilders and athletes -- all such groups have, at some time or another, constructed societies whose whole purpose is celebrating the single pleasure whose pursuit dominates their lives, while it separates them from the rest of the world, whose rules and norms they resent and despise. Furthermore, they pursue their pleasure at the constant risk of self-destruction. And then they wonder why so many other people look at them with something between horror and distaste."
-Orson Scott Card, Afterword: "Closing the Timelid"
