“I and all the people I knew well, some of them fine people, had been sunk inside the communist conformity and lied to themselves or to others. And the 'liberal' or 'free' intellectuals could be and had been swung into witch-hunts of one kind or another very easily. Very few people really care about freedom, about liberty, about the truth, very few. Very few people have guts, the kind of guts on which a real democracy has to depend. Without people with that sort of guts a free society dies or cannot be born.”

“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.”
