Som om vi någonsin kan föreställa oss det förflutna, framtiden, livet på andra planeter – allt är en sådan utsträckning, en sådan projektion av livet som vi känner till.

As if we can ever imagine the past, future, life on other planets, everything is such an extension, such a projection of life as we know it.

Föreställning och Inbillning

Worker bees can leave.
Even drones can fly away.
The Queen is their slave.

The gyms you go to are crowded with guys trying to look like men, as being a man means looking the way a sculptor or an art director says.
Like Tyler says, even a souffle' looks pumped.

Then you're trapped in your lovely nest, and the things that you used to own, now they own you.

You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everyone else, and we are all part of the same compost pile.

Frihet

According to my boss, there are fewer and fewer gentlemen in business and more thugs.

Marla tells me how in the wild you don't see old animals because as soon as they age, animals die. If they get sick or slow down, something stronger kills them. Animals aren't meant to get old. Marla lies down on her bed and undoes the tie on her bathrobe, and says our culture has made death something wrong. Old animals should be an unnatural exception. Freaks.

Død

The truth is, wherever you choose to be, it's the wrong place.

Fremtid

You can buy about four hundred tiny fashion separates that mix and match to create three tasteful outfits. In that way, the doll is incredibly lifelike. Chilling, even.

På andra sidan räcket ser den gråa marmorgolvet i korridoren ut som om vi hade klättrat upp för en trappa genom molnen.

On the other side of the handrail, the hallway's gray marble floor looks as if we've climbed a stairway through the clouds.

Trappor

The sound shivers through the walls, through the table, through the window frame, and into my finger. These distraction-oholics. These focus-ophobics. Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn't watching. He's singing and dancing. He's pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother's holding your attention every moment you're awake. He's making sure you're always distracted. He's making sure you're fully absorbed... and this being fed, it's worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what's in your mind. With everyone's imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.

Las Vegas looks the way you'd imagine heaven must look at night.

Himmelen

If the prodigal son had never left home, the fatted calf would still be alive.

Maybe this is why so many serial killers work in pairs. It's nice not to feel alone in a world full of victims or enemies. It's no wonder Waltraud Wagner, the Austrian Angel of Death, convinced her friends to kill with her.
It just seems natural. You and me against the world...
