“The every day activity of slaves reproduces slavery”

“There is a moment between sleeping and waking where one is free. Consciousness has returned, but awareness has yet to rip away the thin screen between the waker and his surroundings, his reality.

It is at this point, between two worlds, that I think I am happiest.”

“And as the Society reminds us, there's a difference between knowledge and technology. Knowledge doesn't fail us.”
