    • Quotes

      Control Voice: [intro] Rocks. Silent, inanimate objects torn from the Earth's ancient crust, yielding up to Man over the long centuries all that is known of the planet on which we live, withholding from Man forever their veiled secrets of the nature of matter and cosmic catastrophe, the secrets of other worlds in the vastness of the universe, of other forms of life, of strange organisms beyond the imagination of Man.
