“The first time you glimpse yourself through the eyes of a person like that, it’s a cold moment. It’s like walking past a mirror you’ve walked past every day of your life, and suddenly it shows you something else, something troubling and strange.”

“Sometimes I don’t understand it myself. I ask myself. I ask myself, what the hell am I, anyway? Really, what am I?’
I shake my head. ‘Well, I don’t know what I am, either.’
‘A classic identity crisis.’

“Narrow minds devoid of imagination.
Intolerance, theories cut off from reality, empty terminology, usurped ideals, inflexible systems. Those are the things that really frighten me.
What I absolutely fear and loathe.
Of course it's important to know what's right and what's wrong. Individual errors in judgment can usually be corrected. As long as you have the courage to admit mistakes, things can be turned around.
But intolerant, narrow minds with no imagination are like parasites that transform the host, change form and continue to thrive. They're a lost cause, and I don't want anyone like that coming in here.”
