"Once I was a butterfly, but I couldn't bear this cruel, careless world. I prayed so much to become somebody else. Butterflies live just for one day and I still had so many things to do...so here I am, changed, though still longing for the butterfly wings."
Ksenija Spanec

"The Doctor: I understand, all right. The hopeless dream of being - not seeming, but being. At every waking moment, alert. The gulf between what you are with others and what you are alone. The vertigo and the constant hunger to be exposed, to be seen through, perhaps even wiped out." /Persona

"Today is my turn, to look back, to look forward, to close my eyes but still be able to see that something is missing. The sun has burned out the sky. That burned spot in the clouds corresponds with the burned spot in me. I am still smiling, though..."
Ksenija Spanec
It is utterly important to use new inventions for the benefit of the Citizens, declares The Institute. When television arrived and invaded the living rooms it was already decided that the main purpose of the media should be "Marketing, Brainwashing and Propaganda". The Institute officially named it: "Entertainment, Education and Information."

The Institute says: Amor vincit omnia.

Panopticon is a type of building created by the Institute (who picked up the idea from J Bentham). It allows a single watchman to observe the inmates without them being able to tell whether they are being watched or not.
Sanja Buterin
”The flight from the name ’bourgeois’ is not therefore an illusory, accidental, secondary, natural or insignificant phenomenon: it is the bourgeois ideology itself, the process through which the bourgeoisie ideology transforms the reality of the world into an image of the world, History and Nature. And this image has a remarkable feature: it is upside down” - Roland Barthes

“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.”― Carl Jung
George Holroyd
All important decisions by The Institute are made secretly, without leaving any digital shadows or footprints. Most of the citizens are unaware of this.
Ulf Fågelhammar
This could be good news or bad news.
