The most dangerous kind of person... is one who is afraid of his own shadow.

I think great art should play a part in the ordinary man's life, don't you? It can make his existence so much richer and more meaningful.

I mean, after all, you have to consider we're only made out of dust. That's admittedly not much to go on and we shouldn't forget that. But even considering, I mean it's sort of a bad beginning, we're not doing too bad. So I personally have faith that even in this lousy situation we're faced with we can make it. You get me?

Just because something bears the aspect of the inevitable one should not, therefore, go along willingly with it.

What scared me the most was when my father would put on the gasmask. His face would disappear... This was not a human being at all.
