“Try to think of it as though we are rewriting history––the first time this experience occurred you and I never kissed in this Dream Machine room. But now when we leave here, and open our eyes again near the wall around the center of Constance, that kiss will be included in our memories of the day we first met. We could spend a lifetime recreating this moment here, meanwhile, not a single second of our lives would slip by back in our reality. Time seems to move differently inside of our memories.”
― Ross Caligiuri, Dreaming in the Shadows

“Eleanor had heard talk of the rebellion that existed inside the city of Constance before. Most of the information she gathered was considered an old fairy tale by the general public. There were a few stories here and there about people angered by their present living conditions, who had demanded that the center of Constance be held responsible for it. However, information was never passed between the five different sectors. Over the years the tales of the rebellion had become children’s bedtime stories, and people did not take them seriously.”

“كانت لشجيرة (التتري) ثلاثة أغصان، وكان أحدها مقطوعاً وما تبقى من الغصن يتدلى كيدٍ مقطوعة، وكان على كل من الغصنين الآخرين زهرة. كانت الزهرتان حمراوين ذات يوم، أما الآن فهما سوداوان. وكان أحد الغصنين مكسوراً ونصفه متدلياً إلى أسفل مع زهرةٍ متسخةٍ في طرفه؛ أما الغصن الآخر فكان لايزال منتصباً، رغم أنه ملطخ بالوحل الأسود. وكان واضحاً أن عجلة عربة مرت على النبتة مرارا، ثم انتصبت ثانية ولذلك كانت مائلة، ولكن منتصبة رغم ذلك. كأنما أقتلعت قطعة من جسدها، وانتزعت أحشاؤها، وقطعت يدها، وفقئت عينها، لكنها ظلت واقفة ولم تستسلم للإنسان الذي يبيد كل إخوته من حوله.
قلت في نفسي: ((يالها من قدرة! لقد انتصر الإنسان على كل شيء وأباد ملايين النباتات، فيما هذه النبته لاتزال صامدة ولم تستسلم!))”
― Leo Tolstoy, Hadji Murád

“Rights violations are, rather, symptoms of deeper pathologies of power and are linked intimately to the social conditions that so often determine who will suffer abuse and who will be shielded from harm.
