“Humans, as a rule, don't like mad people unless they are good at painting, and only then once they are dead. But the definition of mad, on Earth, seems to be very unclear and inconsistent. What is perfectly sane in one era turns out to be insane in another. The earliest humans walked around naked with no problem. Certain humans, in humid rainforests mainly, still do so. So, we must conclude that madness is sometimes a question of time, and sometimes of postcode.
Basically, the key rule is, if you want to appear sane on Earth you have to be in the right place, wearing the right clothes, saying the right things, and only stepping on the right kind of grass.”

“To exist is to stand out, away from the background," The Preacher said. "You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgment of your existence.”

“როგორ შეიძლება ადამიანმა იფიქროს, რომ განუსაზღვრელ მსოფლიოში, ამდენ მზეთა სისტემაში, ურიცხვ პლანეტებზე, რომელთა შორის უთუოდ მრავალია ისეთი პლანეტები, როგორიც დედამიწაა თავისი ქიმიურ-ფიზიკური პირობებით, როგორ შეიძლება ამ უამრავ ქვეყნებში არსად სიცოცხლე არ არსებობდეს და მხოლოდ დედამიწა იყოს რაღაც უცნაური გამონაკლისი?”

“The convoluted wording of legalisms grew up around the necessity to hide from ourselves the violence we intend toward each other. Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. You have done violence to him, consumed his energy. Elaborate euphemisms may conceal your intent to kill, but behind any use of power over another the ultimate assumption remains: "I feed on your energy.”
