"It would be fitting if I were apprehended... and punished. At least there would be some small sign of justice - some small measure of hope for the possibility of meaning."

"Sophocles said, that to never have been born may be the greatest boon of all."

"The innocent are sometimes slain to make way for grander schemes. You were collateral damage."

"You can learn to push the guilt under the rug and go on. Otherwise, it overwhelms you."

"The man who said "I'd rather be lucky than good" saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It's scary to think so much is out of one's control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net, and for a split second, it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck, it goes forward, and you win. Or maybe it doesn't, and you lose."

"[narrating] Meticulous, yes. Methodical. Educated. They were these things. Nothing extreme. Like anyone, they varied. There were days of mistakes and laziness and infighting. And there were days, good days, when by anyone's judgment, they would have to be considered clever. No one would say that what they were doing was complicated. It wouldn't even be considered new. Except maybe in the geological sense. They took from their surroundings what was needed, and made of it something more."

"That is no static shock."

"What's worse, thinking you're being paranoid or knowing you should be?"

"I am trying, okay, I really am here."

"You're talking about making a bigger one."

"What happens if it actually works?"

"If you always want what you can't have, what do you want when you can have anything?"

"And I don't think there's ever been any reason to show you what I'm capable of...but I'm telling you this now. Go out there and do whatever it is you want. There's no way in the world I can stop you, but don't come back here. And don't come near them. Any of them."

"[His first experience in the machine] Maybe it was the dramamine kicking in, but I remember this moment in the dark with the reverberation of the machine. It was maybe the most content I've ever been."

"Aaron, I can imagine no way in which this thing could be considered anywhere remotely close to safe. All I know is I spent six hours in there and I'm still alive... You still want to do it?"

"You know what they do with engineers when they turn 40? They take them out and shoot them."

"How many times would it take before he got it right? Three? Four? Twenty? I've decided to believe that only one more would have done it. I can almost sleep at night, if there's only one more. Slowly and methodically, he reverse-engineered a perfect moment. He took from his surroundings what was needed, and made of it something more. And once the details had been successfully navigated, there was nothing left to do but wait for the conflict. Maybe the obligatory, last minute moral debate until the noise of the room escalates into panic and background screams, as the gunman walks in. And eventually, he must have got it perfect, and it must have been beautiful with all the praise and adoration he had coming. He had probably saved lives, after all. Who knows what would have happened if he hadn't been there?"
