Quotes

Elliot: Control can sometimes be an illusion. But sometimes you need illusions to gain control. Fantasy is an easy way to give meaning to world. To cloak our harsh reality with escapist comfort. After all, isn't that why we surround ourselves with so many screens? So we can avoid seeing? So we can avoid each other? So we can avoid truth.
