"What would happen if I took off the leash, and I found I was... as obedient as ever?' This quote speaks volumes because it reinforces the idea that even outside of a literal cage, one can still be caged."

"Much of the storytelling in BioShock is spent explaining how and why things went wrong which is, as you know, a fascinating tale of unchecked ambition, betrayed trust, and hidden identities."
"If we remain blind to the emotional side of human nature, no ideology can save us. Life isn't a matter of reason vs. emotion, but rather reason as emotion."
