A sublime segment, a grand fragment, are of no value to them. They demand the complete circle... the entire structure.

Robert Green Ingersoll

Every creed is a rock in running water: humanity sweeps by it. Every creed cries to the universe, "Halt!" A creed is the ignorant Past bulling the enlightened Present.

Being on a Michael Bay set is... well, it's the only set I've ever been on. But I would imagine there's no set that's run quite like it.
