I Always Introduce Myself As An Encyclopedia

I'll Impose Upon You The Same Arrogance That Was Imposed On Me, And On My Mother, My Grandmother, My Grandmother's Mother: All The Way Back To The First Human Born Of Another Human Being, Whether He Liked It Or Not. Probably, If He Or She Had Been Allowed To Choose, He Would Have Been Frightened And Answered: No, I Don't Want To Be Born. But No One Asked Their Opinion, And So They Were Born And Lived And Died After Giving Birth To Another Human Being Who Was Not Asked To Choose, And That One Did Likewise, For Millions Of Years, Right Down To Us.

What's The Point Anyway - Of Suffering, Dying? It Teaches Us To Live, Boy. A Man Who Does Not Struggle Does Not Live, He Survives.

Life Is Such An Effort, Child. It's A War That Is Renewed Each Day, And Its Moments Of Joy Are Brief Parentheses For Which You Pay A Cruel Price.

Is It Right To Shoot The Poor Prostitute Or A Woman Who Is Unfaithful To Her Husband, Or A Man Who Loves Another Man?

Whether It Comes From A Despotic Sovereign Or An Elected President, From A Murderous General Or A Beloved Leader, I See Power As An Inhuman And Hateful Phenomen. To The Same Degree That I Do Not Understand Power, I Do Understand Those Who Oppose Power, Who Criticize Power, Who Contest Power, Especially Those Who Rebel Against Power Imposed By Brutality.
