Quotes / Redemption in the Rain

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like... tears... in rain. Time... to die."

— Roy Batty, Blade Runner

Stand in the rain, stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down
You stand through the pain, you won't drown
and one day what's lost can be found
You stand in the rain.

The droplets falling gently down on the terrain
Wash away the sorrow, all the stains of time
But there's no memory, it's only dry inside"

I open my mouth to the black skies and drink the oily rain. It flows down my throat like nectar, quenching my terrible thirst in the most satisfying way. It sits cool and comforting in my belly, and I drink down more of it. I'll never again be thirsty again, I realize.
This isn't the end of the world.
It's the beginning.
My body trembles with hidden promise. I know I've got a place in this new world.

—This Is How The World Ends, by John R Fultz
