“Дружба не зарождается ни в нужде, ни в беде. Те «трудные» условия жизни, которые, как говорят нам сказки художественной литературы, являются обязательным условием возникновения дружбы, просто недостаточно трудны. Если беда и нужда сплотили, родили дружбу людей — значит, это нужда не крайняя и беда не большая. Горе недостаточно остро и глубоко, если можно разделить его с друзьями. В настоящей нужде познается только своя собственная душевная и телесная крепость, определяются пределы своих возможностей, физической выносливости и моральной силы.”

“An unfamiliar city is a fine thing. That's the time and place when you can suppose that all the people you meet are nice. It's dream time. ”

“The scapegoat is a central figure in human life. A community that feels threatened identifies groups or individuals responsible for the crisis, casts them out by killing or expelling them, comes together healed and renewed, and attempts to forestall the next crisis by restaging the original event in ritual or else by wondering how it could have punished an innocent lamb (and trying to identify groups or individuals responsible for the delusion).”

“I’m an egotist, but I’m not selfish. There’s a difference. I’m a neurotic, I guess. I can’t stop thinking about myself. It isn’t that I think myself so important... I simply can’t think about anything else, that’s all. If I could fall in love with a woman that might help some. But I can’t find a woman who interests me.”
