"The questions remain unanswered."

"Being crazy isn't about how you act. It's about what you do."

"I been silent so long now it's gonna roar out of me like a dam bursting."

"The Combine's got us all in its gears."

"They can keep me weak by keeping me out here."

"The Combine is real. It's everywhere."

"We're all crazy in here, just in different ways."

"The medication makes you forget who you are."

"The walls keep out the world, but they also keep us in."

"They want us docile, medicated, and manageable."

"The institution breaks you down piece by piece."

"They call it treatment, but it's really punishment."

"The mind is the only real prison."

"They medicate away your personality, your self."

"The real asylum is out there, not in here."

"They want your compliance more than your health."

"The institution crushes individuality systematically."

"We're all doing time in different prisons."

"You're not gonna count how many upstairs they are, are you?"

"The Combine is real. It's the world."

"The machine is running us now."

"One man opposing the whole system."

"The fear keeps us in line."

"The system breaks anyone who challenges it."

"I'm tired of being small."

"They control us through our minds."

"She smiles, but there's no warmth in it."

"I felt something change in that moment."
