“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.

― Bernard Beckett, Genesis

“I cannot make you understand. I cannot make anyone understand what is happening inside me. I cannot even explain it to myself.”

“We are the facilitators of our own creative evolution.”
