“I believe that the Matrix can remain our cage or it can become our chrysalis, ... That to be free, you cannot change your cage. You have to change yourself.
When I used to look out at this world, all I could see was its edges, its boundaries, its rules and controls, its leaders and laws. But now, I see another world. A different world where all things are possible. A world of hope. Of peace.
I can't tell you how to get there,
but I know if you can free your mind, you'll find a way.”
― Lana Wachowski, The Matrix Screenplay

“Man has made such a mighty struggle to feel at home on the face of the earth, without even yet succeeding.”
― D. H. Lawrence, The Complete Works
