“To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart, is true for all men - that is genius... Whoso would be a man must be a nonconformist... What I must do, is all that concerns me; not what the people think... Nothing can bring you peace but yourself; nothing, but the triumph of principles.”

“To better gain economies of scale, higher sales and lower costs, shops everywhere have ballooned into tremendous warehouses. They are staffed by young people who have less knowledge about hardware than I do, and who roam the aisles looking for places to hide from their most voracious and vicious customer; the Boomer on a mission to buy hardware.”

“To better understand God we must first shatter our own idea of God - maybe even day after day. Maybe he's too great to stay compressed in the human mind. Maybe he splits it wide open; this is why pretentious intellectualism so often fails to comprehend the concept of God: it is only accepting of what it can explain while in the process finding higher sources offensive. What we may confidently assert is that faith is the opening that allows God, this unpredictable, unseen power, to travel in and out of the mind without all the pains of confusion.”

“To bi bilo ono gdje se ne usudim ići. A ovdje sam bio mnogo puta ranije. To je kao... bezdan. Ono što shvaćam, što osjećam, vidiš, jest ako jednom upadnem unutra, morat ću prihvatiti da sam ništa, tako nekako zauvijek negirati samoga sebe, zaboraviti se, i sve ono što bih ja jednom mogao biti, kao bih morao odreći se širina vlastite duše i zraka kojeg dišem, ikakvog smislenog postojanja... dokle napokon, ne bi ni bilo onoga tko sve to čini; radije prazno neko, nebitno ništavilo...” “A kakvo je onda ovo gdje smo sada, ovo gore, gdje puzamo po krhkom pokrovu vječite provalije...?” “To bi bio nesporazum. Život, je li, živjeti... to je nesporazum.” No te riječi zvučale su isto tako strane, kao tuđe, kanda se cijela ova konverzacija vodila između dva sasvim drugačija bića no što su bila dijelom moje memorije, neke dvije izmišljene travestije, kojih se, priznajem, dijelom bojim i sam, dapače, koje baš u toj varijaciji sada govore: “Bojim se te rupe.”, i to čujem od vlastita glasa. “Bojim se jer ako dopustim da me ona uzme, ako se predam namjerno ili slučajno, više nikada mi neće biti moguće van, ja se više nikada neću vratiti. To je moja jedina moguća odluka kojoj mogu dati kvalitet finalnosti... A nekada mi dođe da upadnem. Zbog tog dolazim tu; zato sam i bio ovdje mnogo puta ranije. Dođe mi da skočim, ja se pojavim na rubu, a onda smrznut, ne djelujući gledam u bezdan, ovladan... i sve to traje dok se polako na kraju ne povučem u sram. A vidiš, za mene, stvarnost je kvalitet ničega; iako je unutra moja negacija, kad bih upao, istodobno je tamo takoreći jedini garant mene...”

“To blame the poor for subsisting on welfare has no justice unless we are also willing to judge every rich member of society by how productive he or she is. Taken individual by individual, it is likely that there's more idleness and abuse of government favors among the economically privileged than among the ranks of the disadvantaged.”

“To blame words or images for the actions of people is simplistic. It retards any real examination into what motivates violent crimes, such as rape. Radical feminists are handing a "pornography made me do it" excuse to rapists. Nothing should be allowed to mitigate the personal responsibility of every man who physically abuses a woman.”

“To blindly trust government is to automatically vest it with excessive power. To distrust government is simply to trust humanity - to trust in the ability of average people to peacefully, productively coexist without some official policing their every move. The State is merely another human institution - less creative than Microsoft, less reliable than Federal Express, less responsible than the average farmer husbanding his land, and less prudent than the average citizen spending his own paycheck.”
