— Why did you do that? You promised to set him free.
— And I did. I freed his wretched head from his miserable shoulders.

I understood what he was doing. That he had spent four years fuIfiIIing the absurd and tedious duty of graduating from coIIege, and now he was emancipated from that world of abstraction, faIse security, parents and material excess.

— It's taken a lifetime of practice.

And the truth shall make you free.

When we substitute threat for an argument, violence for principle, we allow our passion to overcome our capacity for reason. Passion and self-interest are threats to liberty.

The truth sets everyone free.

Whatever happened before was in the past.

Dreams are important. They can be a way of openin' a window, lettin' the bad air out.
