“And though dark is the highway, and the peak's distance breaks my heart, for I never shall see it, still I play my part, believing that what waits for us is the cosmos compared to the dust of the past... In the death of mere humans life shall start!” — Van der Graaf Generator (Peter Hammill) — Childlike Faith In Childhood’s End “Dreams, hopes and promises, fragments Out of time; All of these things have been spoken; Still you don't understand how it feels when I’m Waiting for them to be broken” — Van der Graaf Generator (Peter Hammill) — My Room (Waiting for Wonderland) "No matter how much you change the rules, no matter how much you refuse to accept defeat, in the end, the creatures known as "people" will always sign their own death warrant by acting out of stupidity and evil. And then… mankind will be gone for good." — Porky Minch — Mother 3 “What was once before you - an exciting, mysterious future - is now behind you. Lived; understood; disappointing. You realize you are not special. You have struggled into existence, and are now slipping silently out of it. This is everyone's experience. Every single one. The specifics hardly matter. Everyone's everyone. As the people who adore you stop adoring you; as they die; as they move on; as you shed them; as you shed your beauty; your youth; as the world forgets you; as you recognize your transience; as you begin to lose your characteristics one by one; as you learn there is no-one watching you, and there never was, you think only about driving - not coming from any place; not arriving any place. Just driving, counting off time. Now you are here, at 7:43. Now you are here, at 7:44. Now you are... Gone.” — Synecdoche, New York
