“The old queen had failed them so miserably... She was such a bitter disappointment. But Ursula was different. There was no one to distract her, no one for her to love. She was alone in the world, alone in her grief, and alone with her pain. No, she wouldn't disappoint them. Unlike the old queen, Ursula would be able to fill her heart with hate.”

“На этот раз было холодно. Книгами хорошо натопили печь. Мать принесла совок, чистила поддувало, выгребала золу тупо и сосредоточенно. Я сказал: — Ладно, когда-нибудь у нас опять будет много книг. — Никогда, — сказала она. — Никогда не будет. Я уже не верю. Нет на свете ни доброты, ни мира, ни здравого смысла. Злобные идиоты правят миром. И книги всегда горят. Горела Александрийская библиотека, горели инквизиторские костры, сжигали Радищева, сжигались книги при Сталине, горели костры на площадях у Гитлера, и будут гореть, и будут: поджигателей больше, чем писателей. Тебе, Толя, жить, и ты запомни этот первый признак: если книги запрещаются, значит, дело плохо. Значит, вокруг насилие, страх, невежество. Власть дикарей. Боже мой, это подумать только!.. Если банды дикарей кидают книги в костер на площади — это страшно, но все же это полбеды. Может, их еще не так много, этих дикарей. Но когда каждый человек в каждом доме начинает, трясясь от страха, жечь книги... О, до этого надо довести народ! Это надо уметь. Я думаю: зачем ты у меня родился? Жить в таком мире... Эту ее речь я запомнил на всю жизнь [109—10].”

“16. Christians should never consult astrologers, psychics, or those who practice witchcraft (see Isaiah 47:13-14). They are usually phonies who only pretend to have extrasensory powers. But in some cases, they are working in cooperation with Satan. Rather than tamper with this evil world, the one true God wants us to bring our needs, problems, and decisions to Him. He has promised to lead us into all truth (see John 8:32).”
