The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legand. Legand fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose in the Mountains of Mist. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was a beginning.

Chapter 1, Page 1, Paragraph 1

Atrus felt the skin on his palm tingle as though a faint electrical current had passed through it. His hand seemed drawn to the image on the page, attracted to it. For a moment that was all. Then, with a sudden, sickening lurch, he felt himself sucked into the page. Or rather, it was as if the page grew suddenly huge, enveloping him in the weave of its fibers. At that same instant he felt a curious shifting sensation. It felt as though he were melting, the fragile shell of him imploding, collapsing back in upon himself, and then the blackness seeped through.

Chapter 1, Page 17, Paragraph 1
.

No, Father. Whatever linked us once has been destroyed. . . .Don't you see that? Well, now you've got the justice you deserve. You can stay here in the little haven you've created for yourself, in your tiny island universe, and play god with your creations.

Chapter 1, Page 18

To a casual eye it might have seemed that nothing there was real; That every object trapped within that cold, unfeeling glare was insubstantial that projection of some dark, malicious deity who, on a moment's whine, might tear the pages from the book in which all this was written and, with a god's indifference, banish this all into the shadow.

This is how we go on: one day at a time, one meal at a time, one pain at a time, one breath at a time. Dentists go on one root-canal at a time; boat-builders go on one hull at a time. If you write books, you go on one page at a time. We turn from all we know and all we fear. We study catalogues, watch football games, choose Sprint over AT&T. We count the birds in the sky and will not turn from the window when we hear the footsteps behind us as something comes up the hall; we say yes, I agree that clouds often look like other things--fish and unicorns and men on horseback--but they are really only clouds. Even when the lightning flashes inside them we say they are only clouds and turn our attention to the next meal, the next pain, the next breath, the next page. This is how we go on.

Chapter 15, Page 259, Paragraph 5
.

Without a doubt, the D'ni civilization was one of the greatest, most advanced ever to have thrived on this small planet - some would argue it was the greatest. But the fact that we had no knowledge of their existence untill the early 1980's is perhaps more astonishing than the tangled story of their past, and the vast complexities of their ancient society.

Page 1, Paragraph 1
.

It is difficult to recall the beauty of that place; it seems so distant now, so vague, like a dream. All that exists there now is a skeleton of what it once was... a mockery of its former beauty. I prefer my memories and my dreams.

From: the CD booklet "Myst The Soundtrack"
Page 5, Paragraph 1
.

We imagined Myst as a world where ambient sounds - the wind through the trees, or a machine slowly groaning - would be sufficient to set the mood.

.

The desk is perfect, as if my own memory has become tangible. I can almost see my father, absorbed in his wrighting, bent over the meticulously placed Elements. There is the pen, instrument of creation. The ink, lifeblood of another age. And the blank page. This will be a place of great inspiration.

From: the CD booklet "Riven The Soundtrack"
Page 4, Paragraph 1-2
.

While Riven's environments are defined by their look and enhanced by sound, the emotional center of each place is often revealed through music. Each of Riven's settings as well as its main characters has its own theme, all composed by Robyn Miller, who used his experience as the composer for Myst to expand and deepen the sonic possibilities of Riven.

.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end
.
From: the CD "feeling strangely fine" by: Semisonic
Track 1, Song "closing time"
.

The beginning of the end must signify the whole, revealing the darkest secrets of the past and the future. The opening must be perfect. Thus it begins...
