"I get depressed with these fluffy dragons and noble elves. Elves were never noble. They were cruel bastards. And I dislike heroes. You can't trust the buggers. They always let you down. I don't believe in the natural nobility of kings, because a large percentage of them in our history have turned out to be power-crazed idiots. And I certainly don't believe in the wisdom of wizards. I've worked with their modern equivalents, and I know what I'm talking about."
"If you must tell me your opinions, tell me what you believe in. I have plenty of doubts of my own."
"He never chooses an opinion; he just wears whatever happens to be in style."
"One often contradicts an opinion when what is uncongenial is really the tone in which it was conveyed."
"Plus d'un qui n'a pu liberer ses propres chaines a su pourtant en liberer son ami."
"Public opinion is to an unconventional idea - what abortion is to sperm."
"As uncomfortable as it might be, I refuse to let the comfort of being agreed with suffocate my opinions."
"Much like humans, opinions come in all shapes and forms, but in the end, they are just what they are; and may yet still be categorized in nature. The first you might say is the Indoctrinal, which is, of course, dictated by community and necessity, by the human need for acceptance; secondly, there is the Personal, and this is often dictated by individuality, by the yearning to seem interesting and intelligent, or free, or special; and lastly comes the Emotional. This is most commonly dictated by circumstance and bitterness and excitement. However, rarely do we find the case in which any of these are dictated by reason in the pure state: it is by this we see that at the core of a number of false opinions lies not always misinformation but quite often some issue of the human self."
"We are sometimes dragged into a pit of unhappiness by someone else's opinion that we do not look happy."

"The revolution came so suddenly, and in a way so utterly different from what we expected."
"The revolution in Russia was victorious with the help of the poor peasants. This should always be borne in mind here in Western Europe and all the world over. But the workers in Western Europe stand alone: this should never be forgotten in Russia."
"Of course you know this difference as well as I do, only you failed to draw from it the conclusions for the tactics in Western Europe, at least as far as I am able to judge from your works."
"Moreover, in Russia there was an enormous amount of landed property to be divided, large estates, crown lands, government land, and the estates held by the monasteries."
