“De werkloze arbeider haatte de nationaal-democratische partij, de onteigende kleine bezitter van de middenklasse en de hogere klasse haatten de traditionele extreem rechtse partijen. Deze massa van totaal ontgoochelde en wanhopige mensen groeide in Duitsland en Oostenrijk na de Eerste Wereldoorlog snel aan.”

“The fact that labour is external to the worker, i.e., it does not belong to his intrinsic nature; that in his work, therefore he does not affirm himself but denies himself, does not feel content but unhappy, does not develop freely his physical and mental energy but mortifies his body and his mind. The worker therefore only feels himself outside his work, and in his work feels outside himself.”

“The damage and invisible scars of emotional abuse are very difficult to heal, because memories are imprinted on our minds and hearts and it takes time to be restored. Imprints of past traumas do not mean a person cannot change their future beliefs and behaviors. as people, we do not easily forget. However, as we heal, grieve, and let go, we become clear-minded and focused to live restore and emotionally healthy.”

“De mensen in de Sovjet-Unie is elke vorm van politieke vrijheid ontzegd, niet alleen de vrijheid van vereniging, maar ook de vrijheid van denken, van mening en van publieke meningsuiting[...]. Toen Stalin stierf, waren de laden van de schrijvers en de artiesten leeg [...]. Daarmee wil ik niet het verschil tussen tirannieke censuur en vrijheid van de kunsten minimaliseren, maar wel het feit beklemtonen dat het verschil tussen clandestiene literatuur en geen literatuur gelijk is aan het verschil tussen één en nul.”
