Your home is regarded as a model home, your life as a model life. But all this splendor, and you along with it... it's just as though it were built upon a shifting quagmire. A moment may come, a word can be spoken, and both you and all this splendor will collapse.

There is always a risk in being alive, and if you are more alive, there is more risk.

The spirit of truth and the spirit of freedom-they are the pillars of society.

Take the life-lie away from the average man and straight away you take away his happiness.

Our whole being is nothing but a fight against the dark forces within ourselves.

I'm inclined to think we are all ghosts-every one of us. It's not just what we inherit from our mothers and fathers that haunts us. Its all kinds of old defunct theories, all sorts of old defunct beliefs, and things like that.

I believe that, before all else, I'm a human being, no less than you.
