“In finnish: "Ajan myötä lohikäärme ja kirin loivat rupensa ja veivät muodonmuutoksensa loppuun asti, ja niin niistä tuli osa ruumistani. Nyt ne olivat oikeasti omaisuuttani - sana, jota käytin mielelläni ajatellessani niitä. Mutta oli myös mahdollista, että niiden arvo alenisi uutuudenviehätyksen kadottua. Samaan tapaan saattaa omistaa upean mekon, joka saa olon tuntumaan mahtavalta. Mutta eipä aikaakaan, kun se on pelkkä vaatekappale muiden joukossa. Olin kai siinä mielessä ollut aina oikukas ja viskannut vaatteita kaapinperälle käytettyäni niitä vain pari, kolme kertaa. Näkemykseni avioliitosta on paljolti samanlainen. Näen sen tilanteena, jossa kaksi ihmistä yrittää omistaa toisensa. Tai vaikka ei olisikaan naimisissa, pojat yrittävät aina jotain tuonsuuntaista: mitä kauemmin heidän kanssaan on, sitä enemmän he yrittävät asteittain kasvattaa valtaansa toiseen ihmiseen.”

“You choose to support each other publicly , because you are all doing the same wrong, shady, criminal, illegal, bad, irresponsible, and evil things privately .You fail to hold each other accountable. You choose to protect each other and protect one of your own in doing wrong things .  You get angry, defensive, offended, and emotional hurt, when the people you support in doing wrong things are called into order. You sympathize with criminals , wrong doers and the people who are suffering the consequences of their actions.  That is why people who do wrong things will never change or learn their lessons. You see them as victims. You applaud and admire them for their wrong actions or doings. If they don’t see anything wrong in what they are doing. One day they will wrong you and you will suffer because of their actions .”

“When you are guilty of something but are not punished or exposed, you don't want to correct others who are doing wrong because they might remind you of your own wrongdoings. That is the government we have. Everyone is doing wrong or committing crimes. They don't want to correct or stop others who are committing crimes or doing bad things because they might be called out for their own crimes. This is why everyone is doing what they want, because everyone is corrupt, a criminal, or guilty of something wrong.”

“A person who harbors a lot of hate needs a bigger audience. They are rotten inside, poisonous and nothing good comes out of their mouth. Only the lies they tell give them comfort to sleep at night. They don't have peace within them. Their souls and hearts are dark. They are miserable people who want others to be miserable too. They are dishonest individuals who conspire, collude, sabotage, frame, plot, tamper, fabricate, escalate, and exaggerate. They lack a moral compass or humanity. The evil within them makes them think they are gods of this earth.”
