"To be modern is to find ourselves in an environment that promises us adventure, power, joy, growth, transformation of ourselves and the world -- and at the same time that threatens to destroy everything we have, everything we know, everything we are."

Marshall Berman, All That Is Solid Melts Into Air, as quoted in the film Joy Division

"You cannot imagine
The unbearable finality of it
And in that one moment
I took everything that was dear to me
And transformed it
Into nothing more
Than a memory."

Nick Nolte in Hulk
