“ჯორჯ ორუელი ცდებოდა.
დიდი ძმა თვალყურს კი არ გადევნებს, ის ცეკვავს და მღერის, მას ბოცვრები ამოჰყავს ჯადოსნური ქუდიდან. ყოველთვის, როცა არ გძინავს, დიდი ძმა გართობს, ყურადღებას გიფანტავს, ყველაფერს აკეთებს იმისათვის, რომ მთლიანად იყო შთანთქმული და არ იფიქრო.
ის ყველაფერს აკეთებს იმისათვის, რომ წარმოსახვის უნარი გაგიქროს, და იქამდე არ მოგეშვება, ვიდრე მას ბრმა ნაწლავივით უსარგებლოდ არ გიქცევს. დიდი ძმა თვალყურს ადევნებს, რომ შენი ყურადღება გამუდმებით რაღაცაზე იყოს მიჯაჭვული.
და ეს უფრო უარესია, ვიდრე ის, რომ თვალს არ გაშორებდეს. უარესია, როცა ამდენი ხარახურით გავსებენ. როცა ადამიანს წარმოსახვა ატროფირებული აქვს, ის საფრთხეს აღარ წარმოადგენს:

სუპერ!

(გია ბერაძის თარგმანი)”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Lullaby

“You're something between a dream and a miracle.”
