“and I look on my brain as a mass of hydraulically compacted thoughts, a bale of ideas, and my head as a smooth, shiny Aladdin’s lamp. How much more beautiful it must have been in the days when the only place a thought could make its mark was the human brain and anybody wanting to squelch ideas had to compact human heads, but even that wouldn’t have helped, because real thoughts come from outside and travel with us like the noodle soup we take to work; in other words, inquisitors burn books in vain. If a book has anything to say, it burns with a quiet laugh, because any book worth its salt points up and out of itself.”

“La notte, nel letto, lo perseguitavano le ambizioni più grottesche e fantastiche, il cervello gli tesseva un universo di sfarzo indicibile, mentre l'orologio ticchettava sul lavabo e la luna gli intrideva di luce umida gli abiti sparsi alla rinfusa sul pavimento. Ogni notte alimentava le sue fantasie finché la sonnolenza si abbatteva con un abbraccio dimentico su qualche scena vivace. Per un certo periodo queste fantasticherie gli procurarono uno sfogo all'immaginazione; erano un'intuizione confortante dell'irrealtà della realtà, una promessa che la roccaforte del mondo era saldamente basata sull'ala di una fiaba.”
