Some of these days, Oh, you'll miss me honey

Besides one should not believe that the people only want reading that is easy to absorb.

So long as one believes in God, one has the right to do the Good in order to be moral.

So much torture, bloodshed, deceit. You cannot make your young people practice torture twenty-four hours a day and not expect to pay a price for it.

I respect orders but I respect myself too and I do not obey foolish rules made especially to humiliate me.

Like morality, literature needs to be universal. So that the writer must put himself on the side of the majority, of the two billion starving, if he wishes to be able to speak to all and be read by all. Failing that, he is at the service of a privileged class and, like it, an exploiter.

When I can't see myself in the mirror, I can't even feel myself, and I begin to wonder if I exist at all.
