1 " Beyond the clouds, above people, beneath the skin, inside people, we’re waiting for you. We see you now, as you read. We’ll see you when you stop thinking about these words. Above and inside your face, we know your secrets. We know what you hide from yourself. You can’t escape us. We hold your heart in the palm of our hand. If we like, we can squeeze it. If we like, we can crush it. There’s nothing you can do to stop us. Our gaze notices your every single move and your every single word. Say a word now. Make a move. We smile at your words, as we smile at your silence. No one will be able to protect you. No one can protect you now. You’re even less than you imagine. We’ve seen a thousand generations of men like you. It was our pleasure to let them walk on the lines of our hands. It was our pleasure to take everything away from them. We guided entire generations of men through tunnels we built that led nowhere. And when they arrived at nothing, we smiled. You’re just like them. We’re waiting for you above and inside your face. Continue on your way. Follow that line of our hand. We know where that tunnel you walk through will end. Keep on walking. We see you and smile. Beyond the clouds, we are fear. Beneath the skin, we are fear. "

2 " Memory is like a curse. We fall into eternity, and memory is a weight that keeps pulling us to where we can never go back to. "
3 " Quando vires os teus olhos a verem-te, quando não souberes se tu és tu ou se o teu reflexo no espelho és tu, quando não conseguires distinguir-te de ti, olha para o fundo dessa pessoa que és e imagina o que aconteceria se todos soubessem aquilo que só tu sabes sobre ti. "
4 " A memória como uma maldição. Caímos na eternidade e a memória é um peso, continua a prender-nos em qualquer ponto para onde nunca poderemos voltar. "
5 " As palavras diziam menos do que aquilo que todos sabíamos "
