Control Voice quotes from The Outer Limits (1995)

[closing narration] Errant computers can be reprogrammed, imperfect machines redesigned... but human beings are another matter.

[opening narration] The quest to conquer death is as old as man himself. We conjure dark angels, whose untimely arrival we hope to avert with guile and perseverance. But in the end it is inevitably the grave, not hope, which prevails.

[closing narration] If we measure how much we value life, solely by our dread of dying, then it may well be that we have no sense of its value... at all.

[opening narration] Perhaps we should ask ourselves: will the next leap of science be a step into the future? Or a plunge into the abyss?

[closing narration] The more we learn about the universe around us, the more we realize how little we truly know. But we will only find what wonders await us if no false walls are built around our explorers, and no false restraints applied to the unquenchable human thirst to know it all.

[opening narration] Young idealists often dream of having the power to save the world. But would that dream become a nightmare if saving the world could also mean destroying it?

[closing narration] Our destiny is controlled by the choices we make. Those choices can turn an ordinary man into a king, or reduce him to little more than a pawn. With the fate of the world in your hands... what would you choose?

[opening narration] For years we have searched for the answer to an eternal question: "Are we alone?". As yet, there has been no answer. Or perhaps the answer is only for those with the facility to hear it.

[closing narration] It is said that music is a universal bridge, crossing the barriers of culture, age, and language. Perhaps, eventually, we will learn that it also spans those of time... and space.

[opening narration] Even in the most innocent of minds, there are still secrets best left unrevealed.

[closing narration] Perhaps the descent into madness... is not a solitary journey, after all.

[opening narration] The search for truth is a uniquely human process, a quest guided by our perception of an event. But what happens to the truth when what we see and what we think we see... are two very different things?

[closing narration] Some say that the truth is only what we persuade others to believe. If so, we should be wary... for truth is easily and often hidden by the arguments of those who are false.

[opening narration] In a world where change is the rule, we rely on the unyielding constants in life for comfort and security... that the sun will rise, that the earth will turn. But what if we could no longer be certain of anything? To what then would we cling?

[closing narration] For centuries philosophers and theologians have debated what it means to be human. Perhaps the answer has eluded us because it is so simple. To be human is to choose.
