I know that pain is the most important thing in the universes. Greater than survival, greater than love, greater even than the beauty it brings about. For without pain there can be no pleasure. Without sadness there can be no happiness. Without misery there can be no beauty. And without these, life is endless, hopeless, doomed and damned. | Topic: |

YOU CANNOT VOTE UNLESS YOU APPEAR AT 8:45 A.M. I dont care if the script is good, I need it Thursday! CHECK-OUT TIME IS 2:00 P.M. You got here late. The jobs taken. Sorry. YOUR SALARY HAS BEEN DOCKED FOR TWENTY MINUTES TIME LOST. God, what time is it, Ive gotta run! And so it goes. And so it goes. And so it goes. And so it goes goes goes goes goes tick tock tick tock tick tock and one day we no longer let time serve us, we serve time and we are slaves of the schedule, worshippers of the suns passing, bound into a life predicated on restrictions because the system will not function if we dont keep the schedule tight. Until it becomes more than a minor inconvenience to be late. It becomes a sin. Then a crime. | Topic: |

It was not that they looked alike, it was merely that the Kyben had found for themselves a central line, a median, to which they conformed. It was so much more logical and rewarding that way. If your brother looks and acts as you do, you can predict him. If you can predict him, efficiency will follow. | |
Its so fantastic. So unreal. No more unreal to believe every man is a single brain with individual thoughts than to believe hes a member of a group mind with the same thoughts for all. | Topic: |
