Man is still by instinct a predatory animal given to devilish aggression. the discoveries of science have immensely increased productivity of material things. they have increased the standards of living and comfort. they have eliminated infinite drudgery. they have increased leisure. but that gives more time for devilment. the work of science has eliminated much disease and suffering. it has increased the length of life. that, together with increase in productivity, has resulted in vastly increased populations. also it increased the number of people engaged in devilment.

Welcome, anne. i thought you'd come today. you belong to the afternoon so it brought you. things that belong together are sure to come together. what a lot of trouble that would save some people if they only knew it. but they don't...and so they waste beautiful energy moving heaven and earth to bring things together that don't belong.

All round and round does the world lie as in a sharp-shooter's ambush, to pick off the beautiful illusions of youth, by the pitiless cracking rifles of the realities of age.

I had to wonder if men were so blinded by beauty that they would feel privileged to live their lives with an actual demon, so long as it was a beautiful demon.

You really can't say enough about 'blade runner.' for that movie to have such a long life - you can't describe what a beautiful feeling that is. initially, the movie was out of theaters in something like two weeks. but the people that wanted it back - the fans - they really saved it.
