“Ik weet niet hoe de wereld in elkaar zit, Onno, maar misschien is dat mijn kracht. Als je het mij vraagt zit zij helemaal niet in elkaar, net zo min als de inhoud van een vuilnisbak. Volgens mij is de wereld – althans op aarde – één reusachtig, geïmproviseerd rommeltje, dat in onverklaarbare redenen nog steeds min of meer functioneert. De mens hoor eigenlijk helemaal niet thuis in het heelal; maar nu hij er eenmaal is, is in allerlei opzichten alles mogelijk.”

“It's said that the worst thing one can do to a man is to kill his self-respect. But that's not true. Self-respect is something that can't be killed. The worst thing is to kill a man's pretense at it.”

“It's easy to run to others. It's so hard to stand on one's own record. You can fake virtue for an audience. You can't fake it in your own eyes. Your ego is your strictest judge. They run from it. They spend their lives running. It's easier to donate a few thousand to charity and think oneself noble than to base self-respect on personal standards of personal achievement. It's simple to seek substitutes for competence--such easy substitutes: love, charm, kindness, charity. But there is no substitute for competence.”
