"If we could see our destinies manifest themselves visually...then we would be given the choice to betray our chosen destinies. The mere fact that this choice would exist...would make all preformed destiny come to an end." vsI don’t think you have a clue what it's like to communicate with these kids. We are losing them to apathy and this prescribed nonsense. They are slipping away."aka"They just want to see what happens when they tear the world apart...they want to change things." all dialogue from Donnie Darko.Last night I fell asleep with the film Donnie Darko on in the background. - David JohnTHE PHILOSOPHY OF TIME TRAVEL, By Roberta Sparrow"They are often haunted by the experience in their dreams... Many of them will not remember. Those who do remember the journey are often overcome with profound remorse for the regretful actions buried within their dreams, the only physical evidence buried within the artifact itself; all that remains from the lost world."images:1.
