Real books cannot be written by machines or committees. The truth is not always easy to discern, but a lie can and must be called by its right name.

Even in the most dire conditions, there is a human will to resist coercion.

"Barefoot conducts his seminars on his houseboat in Sausalito. It costs a hundred dollars to find out why we are on this Earth. You also get a sandwich, but I wasn't hungry that day. John Lennon had just been killed and I think I know why we are on this Earth; it's to find out that what you love the most will be taken away from you, probably due to an error in high places rather than by design."
"Something has happened to our intelligence. My reasoning is this: arrangements of part of the Brain is a language. We are parts of the Brain; therefore, we are language. Why, then, do we not know this?"
"If practicality and morality are polarized and you must choose, you must do what you think is right, rather than what you think is practical."
