“Enlloc no és menys pertinent l'orgull nacional que en el terreny de la cultura. I això per dues raons. En primer lloc, perquè cap poble posseeix una cultura que degui només a si mateix: més aviat la cultura és sempre l'obra comuna de molts pobles i, en última instància, de la humanitat, perquè a tot arreu està teixida amb madeixes de l'origen més divers i la composició més diversa. En el mateix moment que una nació es tanca a l'afluència cultural exterior, la seva cultura s'atrofia; i així que intenta extirpar els elements estrangers ja introduïts, destrueix així mateix el que li és més propi, justament allò que pretenia socórrer.”

“Ennakolta ehkäisevän mielenterveystyön ja psykiatrisen tutkimuksen ja hoidon kannalta keskeinen merkitys varsinkin tuon kaikkein laajimman ja käytännössä tärkeimmän neuroosiryhmän, eli ahdistuneisuusneuroosien synnylle on kuitenkin lapsen osaksi tullut kohtelu. Sillä tarkoitan kokonaisvaltaisesti kaikkea sitä puhuttelua ja käyttäytymistä jonka aikuiset, lähinnä tietysti lapsen omat vanhemmat, kohdistavat lapseensa jokapäiväisessä perhe-elämässä. Jos se on rakkaudellista, lapsella ei ole mitään hätää. Mutta jos kohtelulle on leimaa-antavana piirtenä eri muodoissa ilmenevä rakkaudettomuus, joko paljaana tai salakavalasti naamioituna, -- selvästi ja avoimesti ilmaistusta vihasta puhumattakaan -- on lapsen mielenterveys heti vaarassa.”

“Ennek a földnek a lakói az én népem. Már nem egyszerű szatrapa vagyok, nem helytartó más birtokán: király vagyok. Ezek az emberek az enyémek. Megölni ezer embert a sajátjaim közül olyan volt, mintha kivágtam volna a testemből egy darabot. De a rákos daganatot ki kell vágni. Én vagyok az ország. Az én embereim művelik ezt a földet, és az én örömömre termelnek. Védelmezem őket és gondoskodom róluk, amiért cserébe beszolgáltatják a termények egy részét és néhány fiukat. Akik nem így tesznek, azok lázadók, árulók, tolvajok, eretnekek és hitszegők. Megszegik a szent egyezséget. Velem szembeszállni annyi, mint szembeszállni az isteni renddel. Ezt meg kellett tennem, mert az apám nem tette meg. Ha felakasztott volna fél tucat polgármestert, amikor először tagadták meg az újoncozást, akkor az az ezer ember ma is élne. Gyenge volt, és azt akarta, hogy szeressék. Senki sem fogja elismerni, amíg élek, de az ezer rektoni legyilkolásával sokkal több életet mentettem meg. Ezt jelenti királynak lenni.”

“Ennio Morricone is royalty. He doesn't really do this a lot and Quentin brought him back [in Hateful Eight]. Quentin [Tarantino] basically went back and made his The Good, The Bad and The Ugly-kind of film, the ultimate epic spaghetti western, and then you've got mister spaghetti western himself scoring your movie. It's gonna be hard to not vote for him in a landslide. Probably the easiest win of the night.”

“Enoch predicted that "the demons and the spirits of the angelic apostates would turn into idolatry all the elements, all the adornment of the universe, and all things contained in the heaven, the sea, and the earth, that they might be consecrated as God in opposition to God." All things, therefore, does human error worship, except the Founder of all himself. The images of those things are idols; the consecration of the images is idolatry.”
“Enoch...why are you here? Why has my spirit been incarnated into a physical bodi in this world generally? Or specifically, why am I here in a Swedish forest, standing on the wreck of a mysterious German rocket plane while a homosexual German sobs over the cremated remains of his Italian lover?”

“Enormous figures exist, who upload or write that text on the Social Media, I Love You; conversely, the fools conceptualize that as dedicated to them.”
“Enormous forces are affecting the world, and we can't possibly overestimate their importance. These include demographic developments, climate change, digitalization and the rise of Asia. And then there's the most important one: the end of a life lived on credit. We must finally free ourselves from debt.”
“Enormous hydrangeas with vibrant pink sponge-like blooms, rhododendrons and impatiens, tall spears of flowering oyster plants jostled together with Jurassic-looking philodendron leaves and tree ferns, a mixed bag all tied by a wild creeper with bell-shaped blue flowers. The damp smell of the garden reminded Jess of places she'd visited in Cornwall, like St. Just in Roseland, where fertile ground spoke of layers of different generations, civilizations past.
At last, beyond the tangled greenery, Jess glimpsed the jutting white chimneys of a large roof. She realized she was holding her breath. She turned a final corner, just like Daniel Miller had done on his way to meet Nora, and there it was. Grand and magnificent, yet even from a distance she could see that the house was in a state of disrepair. It was perched upon a stone plinth that rose about a meter off the ground. A clinging ficus with tiny leaves had grown to cover most of the stones and moss stained the rest, so that the house appeared to sit upon an ocean of greenery. Jess was reminded of the houses in fairy tales, hidden and then forgotten, ignored by the human world only to be reclaimed by nature.
Protruding from one corner of the plinth was a lion's head, its mouth open to reveal a void from which a stream of spring water must once have flowed. On the ground beneath sat a stone bowl, half-filled with stale rainwater. As Jess watched, a blue-breasted fairy wren flew down to perch upon the edge of the bowl; after observing Jess for a moment, the little bird made a graceful dive across the surface of the water, skimming himself clean before disappearing once more into the folds of the garden.”
