छाती के बल जमीन पर रेंगनेवाले, हवा का बदलता हुआ रुख देखकर मत बदल देनेवाले, सुविधावादी कलाकार, साहित्यिक बुद्धिजीवियों के इस समाज को जो लोग घृणित समझते हैं—उन सब लोगों की सजा निश्चित है—मौत!
“There was purification in punishment. Not 'Forgive us our sins,' but 'Smite us for our iniquities' should be the prayer of a man to a most just God.”

“When they tear a workingman's hand in a machine or kill him, you can understand-- the workingman himself is at fault. But in a case like this, when they suck a man's blood out of him and throw him away like a carcass --that can't be explained in any way. I can comprehend every murder; but torturing for mere sport I can't comprehend. And why do they torture the people? To what purpose do they torture us all? For fun, for mere amusement, so that they can live pleasantly on the earth; so that they can buy everything with the blood of the people, a prima donna, horses, silver knives, golden dishes, expensive toys for their children. YOU work, work, work, work more and more, and I'LL hoard money by your labor and give my mistress a golden wash basin”

“A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”

“It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.”

“Truth is one, but the wise men know it as many; God is one, but we can approach Him in many ways.”
