“The more the media peddled fear, the more the people lost the ability to believe in one another. For every new ill that befell them, the media created an explanation, and the explanation always had a face and a name. The people came to fear even their closest neighbors. At the level of the individual, the community, and the nation, people sought signs of others’ ill intentions; and everywhere they looked, they found them, for this is what looking does.”
― Bernard Beckett, Genesis

“In the end, living is defined by dying.”
― Bernard Beckett, Genesis

“In the end, living is defined by dying. Book- ended by oblivion, we are caught in the vice of terror, squeezed to bursting by the approaching end. Fear is ever-present, waiting to be called to the surface.    Change brought fear, and fear brought destruction.”
― Bernard Beckett, Genesis

“Which came first, the mind or the idea of the mind? Have you never wondered? They arrived together. The mind is an idea.”
― Bernard Beckett, Genesis
