"I usually say, "Fuck the truth," but mostly, the truth fucks you."

Well and what happens when truth fucks us? we change or we die....

"- In your experience of the world. How do people change?

- Well it has something to do with God so it's not very nice. God splits the skin with a jagged thumbnail from throat to belly and then plunges a huge filthy hand in, he grabs hold of your bloody tubes and they slip to evade his grasp but he squeezes hard, he insists, he pulls and pulls till all your innards are yanked out and the pain! We can't even talk about that. And then he stuffs them back, dirty, tangled and torn. It's up to you to do the stitching.

- And then get up. And walk around.

- Just mangled guts pretending.

- Yeah... that's how people change"

When the world spits in our face and hurts us, we can take imagination as our shelter. But in the end we have to look straight in the eyes of the beast and walk through it.

"Harper: In this world, there is a kind of painful progress. Longing for what we've left behind, and dreaming ahead. At least I think that's so."

But but but in the end in the end in the end (or in the beginning?)

"You are all beautiful." "Treshold of revelation."

Grande série!!

"The world only spins forward. We will be citizens. The time has come."
