“What is real pain you ask? The power to choose what we will. Having to choose. This terrible freedom. These infinite possibilities. The taste for the infinite spoiled by the possibility of evolutionary failure. Real pain is knowing that you’re going to die, all the while knowing that you don’t have to die.”
“All rules and boundaries must someday be broken. How else can we go beyond ourselves? A chick must break out of his egg, but this does not mean that the shell is without value.”
