FAVORITE QUOTES

“We cannot do it all at once, it is a sequence. An unfolding process. We can only control the end by making a choice at each step. We can only hope. And try. One some other world, possibly it is different. There are clear good and evil alternatives. Not these obscure admixtures, these blends, with no proper tool by which to untangle the components." – Phil Dick, The Man In The High Castle
