“Even the most assiduous of parents cannot fully protect their children, even if they lock them in the basement, safely away from drugs, alcohol and internet porn. In that extreme case, the too-cautious, too-caring parent merely substitutes him or herself for the other terrible problems of life. This is the great Freudian Oedipal nightmare.
It is far better to render beings in your care competent than to protect them.”

“See, how cruel the whites are: their lips are thin, their noses sharp, their faces furrowed and distorted by holes. Their eyes have a staring expression. They are always seeking something. What are they seeking? The whites always want something, they are always uneasy and restless. We do not know what they want, we do not understand them, we think that they are mad.” I asked him why he thought the whites were all mad. “They say they think with their heads,” he replied.

“Why, of course. What do you think with?” I asked him in surprise.

“We think here,” he said, indicating his heart.”

“Eläessään ihmisen on ilmaistava itseään sinä yksilönä, joka hän on. Kun ihminen on kuollut, on terveellisintä sekoittaa luut ja nikamat ja yhtyä geenimassaan. Alas joukkohautaan! Useimmat ihmiset ovat kuitenkin käsittäneet asian päinvastoin! Eläessään he sekoittuivat massaan, ja myöhemmin, kun heidän piti kuolla, he olivat niin innokkaita saamaan oman hautapaikkansa, oman uurnansa. Monet pelkäsivät kuollakseen, että heidän ruumiinsa sekoittuisi jonkun toisen ruumiiseen! Eläessään he yrittivät olla kaikkien muiden kaltaisia!”
