[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][size=4]There seems to be a terrible misunderstanding on the part of a great many people to the effect that when you cease to believe you may cease to behave

"That jumpsuit you're wearing looks stupid. That's not me talking, it says so right here in your file. On others it looks fine, but right here a scientist has noted that on you it looks 'stupid'. Well, what does a neck-bearded old engineer know about fashion? He probably-Oh wait, it's a she. Still, what does she know? Oh wait, it says she has a medical degree. In fashion. From France!"

My kind transcends your very understanding. We are each a nation - independent, free of all weakness. You cannot grasp the nature of our existence. We have no beginning. We have no end. We are infinite. Millions of years after your civilization has been eradicated and forgotten, we will endure. We are legion. The time of our return is coming. Our numbers will darken the sky of every world. You cannot escape your doom. Your words are as empty as your future. I am the Vanguard of your destruction. This exchange is over.

Sovereign, Mass Effect.

"[i]All people live relying on their knowledge and perception, and are thus bound to them. Those boundaries are what they tend to accept as 'reality'. However Knowledge and perception are both ambiguous . So 'reality' is nothing more than an illusion. People live trapped by their limited perception, do you see?[/i]" - Itachi (This is actually an old philosophical idea used to filter perception)
