“Your answer is the logical, coherent answer an absolutely normal person would give: It's a tie! A lunatic, however, would say that what I have around my neck is a ridiculous, useless bit of colored cloth tied in a very complicated way, which makes it harder to get air into your lungs and difficult to turn your neck. I have to be careful when I'm anywhere near a fan, or I could be strangled by this bit of cloth. If a lunatic were to ask me what this tie is for, I would have to say, absolutely nothing. It's not even purely decorative, since nowadays it's become a symbol of slavery, power, aloofness. The only really useful function a tie serves is the sense of relief when you get home and take it off; you feel as if you've freed yourself from something, though quite what you don't know.”

“لم يعد هذا هو عصر حرق السَحَرة، بل صارت لكل إنسان الحرية المطلقة لعمل أى شىء لا يضايق الآخرين .. يمكنك أن تسكب البنزين على نفسك وتشعل الثقاب، مادمت لن تحرق شيئاً من بيوت الجيران .. يمكنك ان تقود سيارتك بكسروله على رأسك وأنت تلبس فستان طفلة فى السابعة، بشرط ألا توقف السياره فى الممنوع”
