We’re all puppets
The Philosophy of Dr. Manhattan
On directions: “‘Up’ is a relative concept. It has no intrinsic value.” (Chapter III)
On our celestial neighbors: “I am going to look at the stars. They are so far away and their lights takes so long to reach us. All we ever see of stars are their old photographs.” (Chapter IV)
On earth: “Who makes the world? Perhaps the world is not made. Perhaps nothing is made. Perhaps it simply is, has been, will always be there. A clock without a craftsman.” (Chapter IV)
On fate and predestination: “We’re all puppets…I’m just a puppet who can see the strings.” (Chapter IX)
On human history and conflict: “All that pain and conflict done with? All that needless suffering over at last…All those generations of struggle, what purpose did they ever achieve?” (Chapter IX)
On the existence of life: “In my opinion, it’s a highly overrated phenomenon.” (Chapter IX)
On the miracle of conception: “The world is full of people, so crowded with these miracles that they become commonplace and we forget. We gaze continually at the world and it grows dull in our perceptions. Yet seen from another’s vantage point, as if new, it may still take our breath away.” (Chapter IX)
On destiny: “Nothing ever ends.” (Chapter XII)
