The Outer Limits (1995) quotes

[closing narration] Our yesterdays are like a string of pearls -- unbroken -- unchanging. But if we could change our past, would that also change who we are?

[opening narration] We have always been fascinated with the prospect of renewal. Built into the very fabric of our self-conscious is the desire for resurrection, a rebirth of body and soul... a second chance.

[closing narration] We live. We die. We live again. If we accept the tenuous fragility of our planet and ourselves perhaps we can avoid the necessity of rebirth in the distant future. Perhaps we can begin the second dawning of humankind... today.

[opening narration] What will become of us when we take a hand in our own creation? In trying to create the new man, will we condemn the old?

[closing narration] What are children but an extension of our own selves... a reflection of who we are and what we want to become?

[opening narration] The search for truth is a noble venture. But what happens when that search becomes so obsessive that we no longer find truth but instead... create it?

[closing narration] Nothing happens by chance. Life has a design all its own. For one person's sacrifice can be another's... salvation.

[opening narration] Man has taught computers to perform complex calculations, to control a factory, or to launch a spaceship, but can we teach computers to enjoy the beauty of a rose, the sound of a symphony, or the love of another human being?

[closing narration] As we become ever dependent on technology, we may find that a walk down the road paved in circuitry leads us on a path of no return.

[opening narration] We do not know or fully comprehend what exists in the reaches past our world. Should we be so quick to dismiss the voices of those who say they've been... beyond the veil?

[closing narration] It is said that madmen and fools are the children of God and yet we seek to confine these children to the outer reaches of society, shut away and ignored. Is it possible that what we dismiss as their mad ravings may, in fact, be... the wisdom of prophets?

[opening narration] When we look in a mirror we see a reflection of ourselves. But how much more powerful than this is the reflection we see in the eyes of another, especially in the eyes of one we hold to be more beautiful than ourselves?

[closing narration] We all wear masks, illusions of what we want the world to see. But when we hide our true selves from those we love... what price do we pay for that deception?

[opening narration] In our relentless pursuit of carrier and worldly possessions, is it we who pay the highest price or is it...our children?

[closing narration] It's said the road to hell is paved with good intentions. It is with the same good intentions that we blindly place our trust in those with power, the architects of our future and all too often... the manipulators of our ultimate fate.
