'I instantly realized: everything really was just a delicate spiderweb, taut and trembling, ready to tear—any moment, and the unthinkable would happen...'
Reminds me of this quote from Andor (Star Wars): "And remember this: the Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear."

“Why? Well, why don’t you have wings or feathers but still have your shoulder blades, which are the foundation for wings? Because you don’t need wings—we have our aeros, wings would just get in our way. Wings are for flying, and we have nowhere to fly: we’ve landed, we found what we needed. Isn’t that right?”

‘… the speed of her tongue is miscalibrated. The delay on the tongue should always be a few seconds over the speed of thought and never the other way around.’

‘Why is this dance beautiful? Answer: because the movements are unfree. The deeper teaching of this dance lies in its absolute aesthetic bondage, its ideal unfreedom. And if it’s true our ancestors were moved to dance during the most exalted moments of their lives […], there’s only one conclusion: the instinct of unfreedom has been an organic part of human nature since the beginning of time […]’
