Quote – Eternals Annual #1

Filed under: Inspiration — Tags: — William Cardini @ 9:15 pm

“All we are doing is taking humanity to the next level. Unifying the race. No more prejudices. No more conflicts. No more have’s and have-not’s. No more us and them. That’s why we chose Madripoor as the point of ascension, where rich and poor are so rigidly divided between hightown and lowtown. But soon there will be just the one. Just the Terran.

“I… don’t understand. You’re making… a celestial?”

“Of course. What did you think celestials were?”

“They are uni-minds of entire planets. Clad in armor.

  1. My favorite part is one from teh first part of the quote: “All we’re doing is unifying the planet”, emphasis on the “all we’re doing.” as if peace is a formula denied us by our own ignorance.

  2. Well I think the point of that issue is that these non-Eternals are fascists who think they’re enlightened but really aren’t … I think its obvious from my post but what excited me was the last line of the quote.
