Quote #4

I can see: the Integral is contemplating its great and terrifying future, its heavy cargo of inescapable happiness, which it will carry up there, up to you, the unknown, you, who eternally search and never find. You will find you will be happy—you are obliged to be happy—and you haven't much longer to wait. 15.2

Note the difference in tone here, with the inclusion of the word "terrifying." As D-503 changes, so too do his hopes and ambitions (a reflection of his blossoming soul).

Quote #5

I was unable to tear my eyes away from her for a second, and I talked as if in a delirium, fast and incoherently, or perhaps I only thought without speaking out. (17.35)

I-330 is something of a dream and a hope for D-503. And yet it's a dream that comes unanticipated. There's chaos in it, and while D-503 is afraid of that, the potential of such dreaming pulls him further and further from the state.

Quote #6

I want, I must have a child! From you! Give me a child and I will leave. I will! (19.28)

O-90 is initially happy to serve the state, but her wishes for having a baby ultimately result in defiance and rebellion. How is this a reflection of the power of dreams, and how human instinct can create dreams strong enough to overwhelm all other considerations?
