I Chose Rapture
“What can I do with this one, Aphrodite? She - won’t - stay - still! I want to make them beautiful, but they always turn out wrong! That one, too fat! This one, too tall! This one, too symmetrical! And now… What’s this, Goddess? An intruder?! He’s ugly! Ugly! Ugly! UGLYYYYYYYY!”
“When Picasso became bored of painting people,he started representing them as cubes and other abstract forms. The world called him a genius! I’ve spent my whole surgical career creating the same tired shapes,over and over again:the upturned nose,the cleft chin,the ample bosom. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if I could do with a knife what that old Spainard did with his brush?” -Dr. J.S. Steinman
BioShock Character Appreciation - Andrew Ryan
“I’m Andrew Ryan and I’m here to ask you a question:
is a man not entitled to the sweat of his own brow?
No, says the man in Washington. It belongs to the poor.
No, says the man in the Vatican. It belongs to God.
No, says the man in Moscow. It belongs to everyone.
I rejected those answers. Instead, I chose something
different. I chose the impossible. I chose…
RAPTURE.
A city where the artist would not fear the censor. Where
the scientist would not be bound by petty morality. Where
the great would not be constrained by the small. And
with the sweat of your brow, Rapture can become your
city as well.”
/it’s only thirteen seconds but it’s like the best compilation of Atlas’s “would you kindly” phrase. And if you haven’t played/beaten the game for the love of god don’t go to youtube and read the description. It gives away the ending.
