"Even without the events of 40 years ago, I think man would still be a creature that fears the dark - he doesn't face that fear, he averts his eyes and acts as if he never had any memories of his history. But 40 years can be both a brief time and yet a long time. Man's fear has withered and even time tries to wither the desire to know the truth. Is it a crime to try and learn the truth? Is it a sin to search for those things which you fear?
My purpose in this world is knowledge and the dissemination of it. And it is I who is to restore the fruits of my labor to the entire world.
...
Fear - it is something vital to us puny creatures. The instant man stops fearing is the instant the species will reach a deadend, only to sink to pitiable lows - only to sit and wait apathetically for extiction.
Wake up, don't be afraid of knowledge! Humans who lose the capacity to think become creatures whose existence has no value. Think you humans who are split into two worlds, unless you want the gulf between humans to expand into oblivion. You must think!
Don't you find it odd that there is only one man in this whole city who has the desire to pursue the truth?
You poor souls who fear the darkness and the deep, when you surpress that fear you will be able to get closer to the truth. There is but one truth. If you avert your eyes from it, you will always remain nothing more than a puppet.
Imagintion and memory are but one thing which for diverse considerations have diverse names.
Each person's jealousies, their desires, their fears, alone each maybe a small part, but together they become an enourmous whole that will take shape."
