“Ja, we zijn bevrijd van pastoren en hun dwingende moraal, maar nee, we zijn niet vrij, integendeel. Er is een nieuwe moraal met haar eigen hogepriesters, die bovendien meer dwang uitoefenen dan de vorige, omdat ze zich als wetenschappelijk en dus als niet voor discussie vatbaar voordoen. Het enige gebod van die moraal is systematic effectiveness, meteen de mantra van de eerste hogepriester, de manager. De tweede pastoor is de nieuwe psychotherapeut, wiens mantra 'aanpassing' luidt.”

“Leave, instead. Get away for good, far from the life we’ve lived since birth. Settle in well-organized lands where everything really is possible. I had fled, in fact. Only to discover, in the decades to come, that I had been wrong, that it was a chain with larger and larger links: the neighborhood was connected to the city, the city to Italy, Italy to Europe, Europe to the whole planet. And this is how I see it today: it’s not the neighborhood that’s sick, it’s not Naples, it’s the entire earth, it’s the universe, or universes. And shrewdness means hiding and hiding from oneself the true state of things.”
