“..en av os bondestudenter som er blit skadet indvortes ved å bli overflyttet til fremmed jord og atmosfære, han er en liten rumler fra landsbygden som gjærne vil agere frighetsmand og staskar hvortil han ikke er født. Manden mangler hjærtets dannelse, hans blod er falsk i ham. Nærmere uttrykt er han en begavet skøiergut som aldri blir voksen. Det er min lille mening.”

“God's original name is Human, but it isn't very profitable, so the apes cook up fancy names, and sprinkle in tales of magic. Organized religion is the planet's largest circus, where apes commodify divinity to sell tickets - more divide means more fear, means more control, divine distant from human is the holy grail of commerce. Human is the first and final name of divinity, but that goes against the entire religious industrial complex - for the purpose of brevity I say religious, but I mean fundamentalist.”
