Most people live life on the path we set for them. Too afraid to explore any other. But once in a while, people like you come along who knock down all the obstacles we put in your way.

I was doing genetic research at the Woodhaven Clinic in Rhode Island on Renning’s Syndrome, a neurological condition that affects the cerebral cortex of children. All these kids were born with severe brain damage, most died before the age of 12. Those few, those precious few who survived, they had a gift. They would wake up in the night, curled up in the corner of the room, screaming, clawing at the wallpaper. Because, when these little children, if they closed their eyes at night, they dreamt only of murder. And it didn’t take long for us to realize that the real nightmare was that these so called dreams were about to become true, that these murders were actually happening! ibid. Dr Henimen
The future is so much more interesting than the past, don’t you think? ibid. Doctor to Cruise
