Esoteric quote that inspired Nolan's 'Inception'

Esoteric quote that inspired Nolan's 'Inception' - Inspirational Message on Blue Concrete Pavement

I remember once reading a very esoteric, borderline nonsensical quote somewhere on the old IMDb boards which was apparently one of Nolan's inspirations for the film Inception. It had very few conjunctive words, and possibly included the words 'inside' and 'behind'.

Maybe something like 'Inside Behind, Open. Above Depth, Removed.'

Or something!

Can anyone help?

What was the inspiration for Inception?

Satoshi Kon's animated film 'Paprika' was the inspiration for Christopher Nolan's 'Inception'. Both films use the technology that allows the wearer to enter the dreams of others.

How did Nolan think of Inception?

Christopher Nolan thought of the idea behind "Inception" when he was 16, and the script took him 10 years to write. Nolan had been fascinated with the nature of dreams for a long time before writing "Inception."

How are Inception and Tenet related?

Loosely, the theory holds that Neil and Barbara from Tenet are Cobb and Mal's children from Inception, and that Interstellar is set in the apocalyptic world of Tenet's creating. While the first piece of this theory is a bit of a stretch, the second part which links Tenet and Interstellar seems more probable.

Is Tenet in the same universe as Inception?

Though it's presented only as a throw-away line in Tenet, it is the entire backbone of Inception, linking the two films on a deeper and realistic thematic level. This isn't the only theme touted in both films that have similar cores. Tenet's entire plot rests on the philosophy that whatever happened will always happen.
