    Louis de Bernières
    “I used to have nightmare about having petrol poured over me, and being set on fire, and nowadays I have nightmares that I have wooden teeth and that they are continually falling out, as if I had an infinite number of them. It seems that everyone has their own inexplicable fear to have nightmares about. We need nightmares to keep ourselves entertained, and fend off the contentment that we all fear and abhor so much.”

    J.K. Rowling
    “Ah" said Dumbledore gently, "Yes I thought we might hit that little snag!"
    "Snag?" said Fudge, his voice still vibrating with joy. "I see no snag, Dumbledore!"
    "Well," said Dumbledore apologetically, "I'm afraid I do."
    "Oh, really?"
    "Well it's just that you seem to be labouring under the delusion that I am going to -- come quietly. I am afraid I am not going to come quietly at all, Cornelius. I have absolutely no intention of being sent to Azkaban. I could break out, of course -- but what a waste of time, and frankly, I can think of a whole host of things I would rather be doing.”

    Jean-Paul Sartre
    “All I want is' - and he uttered the final words through clenched teeth and with a sort of shame - 'to retain my freedom.'

    I should myself have thought,' said Jacques, 'that freedom consisted in frankly confronting situations into which one had deliberately entered, and accepting all one's responsibilities. But that, no doubt, is not your view.”
    ― Jean-Paul Sartre, The Age of Reason
