Eva is guarded in a schoolroom down on Earth, chewing her pencil, dreaming of being with me, I know it, me, looking down from amongst exfoliation apostles, dreaming of being with her.

When I was a young man, and the Russkies were going to blow us all to Kingdom Come, we were told we’d have a four-minute warning. I’m talking Ford, Carter, Reagan Days. Four minutes, I used to wonder . . . What would I do in four minutes? Boil an egg, have sex, telephone my enemies to have the final word, listen to Jim Morrison, hotwire a car and drive three blocks?

You can maintain power over people, as long as you give them something. Rob a man of everything, and that man will no longer be in your power.

Ние - под това разбирам всички над шестдесет -със самото си съществуване извършваме две прегрешения. Едното е липсата на бързина. Караме твърде бавно, ходим твърде бавно, говорим твърде бавно. Светът е готов да върти сделки с диктатори, перверзници и наркобарони от всякаква величина, но не понася да го бавят. Второто ни прегрешение е, че в очите на всеки човек ние сме мементо мори. Светът може да отрича с блеснали очи неизбежното само ако не сме в полезрението му.
