“Proklete činjenice. Ima zaista nešto bolesno u zapadnoevropskom vaspitanju. Nikad nam nije dosta činjenica. Za nas su, naime, činjenice - istine. Mi mislimo da smo u nečemu nešto saznali ako o tome prikupimo planinu činjenica. A zna se kako s njima stvari stoje. Većina ih se međusobno ne slaže. Činjenice su, u stvari, najnestabilniji faktor našeg saznanja o svetu. Njegova jedina prava nepoznata veličina. Da nema stvarnosti, kako bi se o njoj duboko i tačno pisalo!”

“Želeo sam da još malo budem napolju. Ta želja je zaista jedna od onih ličnih želja, zaista duboko ličnih želja, oduvek. One vrste želja, zbog koje mogu da kažem: da, ja sam takve prirode.Neki ljudi vole da budu u svojim stanovima i kućama, i da miruju. Neki ljudi vole da budu napolju, što više, i da isto tako miruju. Ja zaista spadam u ove druge ljude. Mislim da to zaista mogu slobodno da kažem.”

“Kad je oblačno, oblačno je. I mračno je koliko je oblačno, u 14:40. I nema druge. Zato ti budi vedar i spasi sebe, za onoga kome sunce treba. A vedrina iz mraka dolazi. Tamo ona i nastaje.”

“Imagine for a moment that you do not experience yourself as a "self." From this perspective, you can understand the difficulty the NPD person has in recognizing the unique and separate existence of another "self," or person. In a sense, the narcissist views others and the world around him as an extension of himself, perhaps as you might view your arm or leg. Because the narcissist can only understand others by absorbing them into his own experience of self, he determines that others should behave and act the way that HE behaves and acts. Again, to use the analogy of the arm and leg, he unconsciously expects you to conform to his will, just as his own arm or leg would do. When your behavior deviates from his expectations, he often becomes as upset with you as he would be if his arm or leg were no longer under his control.”
