“Свободата е само част от историята и половината от истината. Свободата не е нищо друго освен отрицателния аспектна целия феномен, чийто положителен аспект е отговорността. Всъщност свободата е застрашена от израждане в прост произвол, ако тя не се живее от позицията на отговорността. Ето защо аз препоръчвам Статутята на свободата от Източното крайбрежие да бъде допълнена със Статуя на отговорността на западното крайбрежие.”

“So on summer evenings, when summer finally came, and the full moon lit the fields so silver, you could squint and it would still look just like it did after snowfall. On those nights, Noah and I would run together through the tobacco, like this. And there was this mighty clear sky full of stars that made you stop and look up, you head empty as a ladle as you tried to locate yourself inside an immeasurable universe. And no one knows where you are and you feel, for a tiny second, that you have no parents, that they never existed at all, which is impossible and shameful to love, but I did. I loved that feeling.”

“THE COURT: Mr. Mangione, will you please stand. Sir, have you seen a copy of the federal indictment against you? THE DEFENDANT: I have. THE COURT: And have you had enough time to discuss it with your lawyers? THE DEFENDANT: Yes. THE COURT: Would you like me to read the indictment out loud, or do you waive its public reading? THE DEFENDANT: I wave. THE COURT: And how do you wish to plead today? THE DEFENDANT: Not guilty. THE COURT: All right. Thank you, sir. You can be seated.”

“When I began my job, my genitor behaved like a true liberal: on the one hand, he was embarrassed by my working as a waiter; on the other hand, he felt politically strengthened in his security. For Cadmo – that is my brother’s name – I am simply the ruler's menial. The old man is a speechifier, the boy a permanent anarchist, albeit only so long as things do not get hot. Degrees of freedom in which one can commit or omit everything are alien to both men.”
