“A gyermekkor természetes igénye: szabadság. S a mai gyermeket szinte ketrecbe kényszerítik. A felnőttkor természetes igénye: élet. S a mai felnőtt, vagy alig-él, vagy maga és mások rovására, rejtek-utakon él. Az öregkor természetes igénye: nyugalom. S a mai öreg, minthogy korábbi igényei ki nem elégülhettek, még a sír szélén is szabadságot és életet akar.”

“К Алисе подошел Джимми. - Привет, - сказал он. - Ты чего с мучительства сбежала? Струсила? Тебя на подвиги не возьмут, учти. - Глупый, - вздохнула Алиса. - Ну кого это на подвиги берут? На подвиги люди сами ходят, и без разрешения.”

“I wanted for that other place. I wanted for the part of the world where I believed there existed a fundamental kind of freedom. The freedom to become something better than what you were born into, the freedom that comes with an inherent fairness of treatment under law and order and social norm, the freedom to read and write and speak without fear.”

“If I had to describe the interpersonal relationship between Donald Trump and me in a few words, I’d say we’re opposites that attract—or maybe similars that repel. Either way, it’s a very complicated relationship. Because however much we disagree ideologically and politically, when it comes to all the little choices and quirks that make up every person’s special sauce of life, far removed from partisan politics and religious affinities, POTUS and I turn out to be terrifyingly similar. Just like my orange doppelganger, I always launch into things with huge enthusiasm and verve, but very soon lose interest. And just like him, yours truly favors spontaneity and last-minute decisions, even with things other people prefer to plan ahead, like, say, war with Iran or where to have Passover dinner. And we both love this freedom so much that we’re willing to pay a heavy price for it, whether that means offending our brother-in-law or tolerating sky-high gas prices. But the greatest similarity between Trump and me might be that when our feelings are hurt and we reach the boiling point, we’re both capable of using harsh words that we later regret (or not). Another curious parallel: just like The Donald, I married a very beautiful woman who thinks I talk too much, and I, too, have a young son who is a head taller than me and barely glances in my direction.”
