David Burr Gerrard
“Thinking, like other drugs, can be a useful distraction from pain, as long as it's managed and doesn't become an addiction.”
David Burr Gerrard, The Epiphany Machine

David Burr Gerrard
“I'm saying that figuring out what's important in life and how to go about getting it is very difficult. Sometimes you get confused and you get tempted to just let other people make the rules. And some people are really happy to make the rules for other people. Adam Lyons, the man who runs the epiphany machine, is one of those people.”
David Burr Gerrard, The Epiphany Machine

“The things white men failed to notice would fill the world they had ruined ten thousand times over.”
David Burr Gerrard, The Epiphany Machine

David Burr Gerrard
“You already know what the machine will write on your arm. That lie you’ve been telling yourself—you know what it is. That blind spot is not really a blind spot—you’re choosing to look away. Perhaps more to the point, you already know whether you want to see it. You already know whether you’re going to use the machine. So why are you still reading this?”
David Burr Gerrard, The Epiphany Machine

Jean-François Lyotard
“In his analysis of the sublime effect, Edmund Burke termed 'horror' the state of mind of a person whose participation in speech is threatened. The power which exceeds the capacity of interlocution resembles night.”
Jean-François Lyotard
