"Do you have any idea how fragile the world is? How quickly it could all change, all go away? You stand there and you judge me, but you have no idea. It's easy for you to take the moral high ground because you have the luxury of ignorance. But if you knew what I know? You'd see the necessity of I what I do. You'd see that without people like me...the civilization would simply fall apart. You need us. You need us to make the difficult choices that keep the world spinning."

"When we show the lack of understanding or interest for the way our own country is run, for the things that directly affect us and possibly our descendants, how is it anything but a tragedy?"

"You never really know what’s hiding below the surface, do you? Behind all those courteous smiles and polite manners? Yes, a monster could be anyone. Your closest friend, your boss, that friendly neighbor who says hi every time he sees you. Your unborn child may grow up into someone with a different kind of meat in his freezer. You never know."

Eto nedavno napokon (aleluja) počea pisat knjigu koju već dugo namjeravan. Nekako pišem na preskake, pošto mi se spontano počnu u glavi formirat dijelovi priče do kojih još nisam doša. Samo se nadam da ću je zapravo i dovršit jednog dana.

"Most lies we tell ourselves. We create an illusion and become its prisoners. We remain inside the confines of this self-inflicted cage, desperately holding onto the false sense of safety it provides. But what happens when the illusion finally breaks?"

"People with brains treat other people as equals, except when they are mass murderers or console peasants."

"It may be that our laws of physics only occur in a finite area, a bubble if you will, in an ocean of other possibilities. I’m speculating whether, if you went far enough out or created enough energy, you could reach a place where one plus one equalled three. Everything would change. All energy, all matter, all the underlying math of the universe would be unrecognisable to us." - EDI, Mass Effect 3

Jedan usputan komentar koji me uvik navede na razmišljanje. Ono, for funsies.

"I am Andrew Ryan, and I'm here to ask you a question. Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow? 'No!' says the man in Washington, 'It belongs to the poor.' 'No!' says the man in the Vatican, 'It belongs to God.' 'No!' says the man in Moscow, 'It belongs to everyone.' I rejected those answers; instead, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose... Rapture, a city where the artist would not fear the censor, where the scientist would not be bound by petty morality, Where the great would not be constrained by the small! And with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your city as well."

"Even in a book of lies sometimes you find truth."

"You can kill me, but you will never have my city. My strength is not in steel and fire, that is what the parasites will never understand. A season for all things! A time to live and a time to die, a time to build... and a time to destroy!"

"What is the difference between a man and a parasite? A man builds. A parasite asks 'Where is my share?' A man creates. A parasite says, 'What will the neighbors think?' A man invents. A parasite says, 'Watch out, or you might tread on the toes of God... '"

"What is the greatest lie every created? What is the most vicious obscenity ever perpetrated on mankind? Slavery? The Holocaust? Dictatorship? No. It's the tool with which all that wickedness is built: altruism. Whenever anyone wants others to do their work, they call upon their altruism. Never mind your own needs, they say, think of the needs of... of whoever. The state. The poor. Of the army, of the king, of God! The list goes on and on. How many catastrophes were launched with the words "think of yourself"? It's the 'king and country' crowd who light the torch of destruction. It is this great inversion, this ancient lie, which has chained humanity to an endless cycle of guilt and failure."

"There's two ways to deal with mystery: uncover it, or eliminate it."

"I came to this place to build the impossible. You came to rob what you could never build - a Hun gaping at the gates of Rome. Even the air you breathe is sponged from my account. Well... breathe deep, so later you might remember the taste."

"And so, I asked myself: in what country was there a place for men like me - men who refused to say 'yes' to the parasites and the doubters, men who believed that work was sacred and property rights inviolate. And then one day, the happy answer came to me, my friends: there was no country for people like me! And that was the moment I decided...to build one."

- Andrew Ryan, BioShock. Stvarno pregenijalno napisan lik.

"You ever wonder how things got to be so bad here? I do. All the time. You see- I don't think men like Roman Sionis or Oswald Cobblepot are responsible. They're just a reflection of our apathy. Our greed. Our fear. We look the other way when things turn sour. Bury ourselves in our jobs. Consume propaganda masquerading as entertainment. The message is always the same: Don't think. Don't question. And what becomes of a society that's given up? It rots. Fills up with liars, cheaters, and thugs. Uptown and downtown. The suit in the penthouse is no better than the guy selling drugs on the corner. They're both doing whatever it takes to get ahead - never mind the cost.

Fidelity. Once upon a time that's what defined society. People coming together in pursuit of common cause. To care for each other. To protect and provide. We took shelter from the darkness - and the things that roamed it. Community meant progress. But now... It's all backwards. We worship at the altar of competition. We build fortresses around ourselves. We fight. We betray. We have become the things we feared.

You keep cleaning up after everyone Batman, and no one's going to learn to take care of themselves. The ones that don't hate you - they'll start to rely on you. Depend on you. And if something happens to you? If you get old? Or bored? Or die? Then what? Or do you not consider the world that revolves around you? You're a hypocrite. Running around 'dispensing justice'. Telling people what they can and can't do.

You're ensuring Gotham's freedom - provided it conforms to your twisted view. Whatever pleases the Bat. That it? You're not a hero. You're a despot. You don't enforce justice. You suppress it. There's a way to make this work. To show you that we share the same goals. Maybe I took things too far with the bombs and the threats. I can learn from that. I mean, you could be a mentor to me. And maybe, well, maybe I can teach you something too. Because I think you're so busy playing hero you've forgotten what it's like for the rest of us. We're not all as strong as you. We don't have the fancy gadgets. The strength. The skill.

But maybe that's the problem. You've gotten so used to the power, you think you're better than everyone. Above reproach. Is that it, then? We're not as good as you? You know what - I take it back. I don't want to work with you. You don't have anything to offer. I think I've figured it out. You didn't take me down because I broke the law. No. No, you took me down because you don't want the competition? That's what this is is really about isn't it. Let me ask you something - you ever wonder if YOU'RE the reason this city's so messed up? Because I have. A LOT of us have... And I'm starting to think we're right."

Koja verzija bolje zvuči?

" 'Necessary evil.' A derogatory term one uses when confronted with a thing they know is indispensable, but are afraid of losing their moral high ground by fully approving it. It's a hypocrisy you don't need."
