“ The past is never dead. It's not even past.”
“ The only thing that matters is the story.”
“ We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.”
“ The future is already here – it's just not very evenly distributed.”
“ The future is already here – it’s just not very evenly distributed.”
“ If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about answers.”
“ The world is full of things that are not what they seem.”
“ A screaming comes across the sky.”
“ The rocket is a symbol of the future.”
