It's not like the satelite photos. They're finite, bordered in white on every side, limited. Space isn't like that. It's like sitting in the front row of a movie theater, so that the screen stretches across every part of your vision, and the earth's just a pinprick of light on the face of it. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I wish everyone could see it like I do."'' <br> ''"When I'm close I can feel the earth, like I'm holding it cupped in my hands, and I think that if I squeezed I could crack it like an egg. There are six and a half billion people on the earth. People who could die if I if I lose control one day, if I mess up. It's a thought that would keep me up at night, if I still slept."'' |

| − | * ''"I lost my head today; stopped thinking like a person and just reacted like a ball of power. I ripped a half-dozen houses out of their foundations, uprooted trees, suspended a piece of the world in the air like it was nothing. And as easy as that, I might have cost us Maggie. <br> "I know how he'll use this against us; he'll call us dangerous to be around, a bad influence on children. And he'll paint himself as sweetness and light. I know, because it's what I would do if I were in his shoes. I have to stop leaving us open to his hits; I have to stop letting the powers do my thinking for me and start thinking like a human being again. <br> "But to get Maggie back, I may have to make a deal with the devil..."''

In Pakistan I dove 16 miles below the earth's surface until I hit the mantle, floated in the center of a cavern filled with magma so hot that my clothes turned instantly to ash, grabbed onto a slice of the earth more than two thousand miles square and wrestled the planet into submission. Godlike. Sometimes it's hard not to call myself that, too."

| − | * ''"While I believe that I was one of the first to come to grips with and more freely use their "powers," I think that between Brian, Mandy, Jack and myself, we(I) understand how they work less than anybody's. I can move over the earth at speeds over fifty times faster than anything ever created by man. My mere passage can create a wave of destruction behind me that rivals our neuclear arsonal. When I run, it seems as though everything stops. No matter what the crisis, it feels as though I have all the time in the world. And in many respects, I do. As we found out, I am not just moving fast. I am pushing through time itself. Around me, time slows, warps, and allows me to pass, where nothing else in history was given that privlage. <br> "Its terrifing really. I can run, sometimes I even seem to skip the intervening space between me and my destination. I once pulled my group of friends into a nightmare future that very nearly killed one of them. I have reversed death on several occassions, though the cost to me was phenomonal. <br> "Brian speaks of the beauty of seeing the Earth from space, and how he wishes that everybody could see it as he does. I want to show him the world as I see it. I can take that perfect moment and freeze it. I can make those precious moments of that gorgeous sunset and stare at it 'til I am satisfied. I can make the world my interactive photo. I no longer feel the need to hurry, for I know that there is no longer any reason to."
