What I like about cities is that everything is king size, the beauty and the ugliness.

It is well to read everything of something, and something of everything.

Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.

Man is what he reads.

Life - the way it really is - is a battle not between Bad and Good but between Bad and Worse.

An ethical man doesn't need a consensus of his allies in order to act against something he finds reprehensible.

How delightful to find a friend in everyone.

Prison is essentially a shortage of space made up for by a surplus of time; to an inmate, both are palpable.

No matter how daring or cautious you may choose to be, in the course of your life, you are bound to come into direct physical contact with what's known as Evil. I mean here not a property of the gothic novel but, to say the least, a palpable social reality that you in no way can control.
