Control Voice quotes from The Outer Limits (1995)

[opening narration] Humans appear to be the only animals aware of their own mortality. When death comes, we console ourselves with its inevitability. But when the unthinkable happens, and a child dies before a parent, the natural order is turned upside down... as are the lives left behind.

[closing narration] The will to live is part of our biology. It exists in every cell, in our very DNA. Of course, sheer will can't keep us alive forever. But sometimes, it can give us... a second chance.

[opening narration] Events in our past seem to slip further away with time. But what happens when they circle back and meet us head on... in the present?

[closing narration] Before we allow ourselves to be consumed by our regrets, we should remember the mistakes we make in life are not so important as the lessons we draw from them.

[opening narration] We quantify our world in order to learn. We break it down into facts, numbers, information. But how far dare we go before we destroy its mystery?

[closing narration] We make tools to extend our abilities, to further our reach, and fulfill our aspirations. But we must never let them define us. For if there is no difference between tool and maker, then who will be left to build the world?

[opening narration] Every child born is linked in a chain to generations past and future. But what happens when that chain is snapped?

[closing narration] Just as we inherited the Earth of our forefathers, we too will bequeath this world -- so long as there are children to claim the inheritance.

[opening narration] Our history is filled with grim reminders of our inhumanity. Armies are crushed, populations ravaged, enemies imprisoned behind walls of stone. But the human spirit is not so easily confined.

[closing narration] Of all the needs which drive us: hunger, thirst, desire... perhaps the most powerful is the simple need to be free.

[opening narration] Those who seek to predict the future... might first look to the past. The past is a mirror -- and those who ignore its sometimes dark reflection, are doomed to repeat it.

[closing narration] Will it be those seeking redemption who shall decide the future... or will those driven only by greed and envy shape our destiny? Even a hundred years later, the outcome is still very much in doubt.

[opening narration] What is freedom but the ability to make choices? Between courage and cowardice, duty and love, or even... heaven and hell? The nature of the choices we make define us as human beings. We choose the world we inhabit.

[closing narration] Each of us creates his own world. We conjure paradises from our hopes, and nightmares born of fear. But what if they are both illusions?

[opening narration] It is said that emotions are the language of the soul. But what happens when that expression is muted? What becomes of feelings... that have no voice?
