Who can say where the cloud&#039;s blowed from or who the soul&#039;ll be &#039;morrow? Only Sonmi the east an&#039; the west an&#039; the compass an&#039; the atlas, yay, only the atlas o&#039; clouds.&rdquo; - David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas<br /> <br /> &quot;If you want to know what a man&#039;s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.&quot; - J.K.

There&rsquo;s a weird freedom in not having people treat you like you&rsquo;re part of society or where you have to fulfill social relationships.&rdquo; - Tim Burton
