“By any measure, we live in an extraordinary and extreme time. Language can no longer describe the world in which we live. With antique ideas and old formulas, we continue to describe a world that is no longer present. In this loss of language, the word gives way to the image as the 'language' of exchange, in which critical thought disappears to a diabolic regime of conformity - the hyper-real, the omnipresent image. Language, real place gives way to numerical code, the real virtual; metaphor to metamorphosis; body to disembodiment; natural to supernatural; many to one. Mystery disappears, replaced by the illusion of certainty in technological perfection.”
― Godfrey Reggio

“Iedolas : A curious old law I still permit in the outlands. A thief who escapes his captor can no longer be held to account for his crime.

Regis : A warning to the victim? Never show weakness, lest you forgo the hand of justice.

Iedolas : Oh no, good king. Far from it. It is a warning to the hand of justice itself: Never to loose its grip.”
― Takeshi Nozue

“People say I was made for this
Nothin' else would I trade for this
And just think I get paid for this...”
― Bobby Darin
