“Everyone has magic and dreams. The limitation‘s were not to law of physics, but rather in the control of the dreamer.”
Olivie Blake, The Atlas Paradox

Olivie Blake
“Left to their own devices, humans will inevitably resort to baser impulses, to self-eradicating violence. Within every human being is the power to see the world as it is and still be driven to destroy…Left to their own devices, humans will inevitably care for another at great detriment to themselves. Within every human being is the power to see the world as it is and still be compelled to save it. It is not one side or the other. Both are true. Flip the coin and see where it lands.”
Olivie Blake, The Atlas Complex

Olivie Blake
“If power is a thing to be had, it must be capable of possession. Power is continuous. Say you are given some power, which then increases your capacity to accumulate more power. Your capacity for power increases exponentially in relation to the actual power you have gained. Thus, to gain power is to be increasingly powerless. If the more power one has, the less one has, then is it the thing or are you?”
Olivie Blake, The Atlas Paradox

“He didn’t understand the way money made decisions, the way the on a looming, unavoidable scale, money determined what was wrong or right more critically than Sunday school or philosophical preponderance of thought. Money was a gift, a burden, one version of a cost.”
Olivie Blake, The Atlas Complex

“Nico didn’t understand poverty the way that Gideon understood poverty, or hunger the way Gideon understood hunger, or fear the way Gideon knew fear. Not fear for his life - Nico understood that (just ignored it). Fear that his way of life was threatened. Fear that change would, for example, destroy the world that they had known, which was for all intents and purposes destroying the world itself. Nico knew but didn’t know how simply (not easily, but simply) someone’s soul could be bought, sold, or compromised and while that wasn’t necessarily something to worry about today, it would be someday.”
Olivie Blake, The Atlas Complex
