Altered States Quotes

“It made me realise just how desperate the world is for a superhero. I don’t just mean those of the comic books. For there is an inexhaustible supply of would-be superheroes throughout history and across the globe. From the legends of King Arthur and Robin Hood, to the Gods of a thousand religions. From Santa Claus to Peter Pan to a myriad other folklore characters. Monsters from the Lochs. Spirits from the other side. Aliens from distant planets. The world longs for something ... something else. Something powerful and exciting. A little bit of magic.”
― Paul J. Newell, Altered States

“Although, deep down, I think I had known this all along. I was not aware of the mechanism, but I had always felt that through my learning I was reawakening an ancient skill. The fact is that before humans developed spoken language we had communicated for millennia by other means; by body language and facial expressions and scent. I had found the key to turn this skill back on. The pertinent question was why it was ever switched off.”
