“VI VERI VENIVERSUM VIVUS VICI.By the Power of Truth, I, while living, have Conquered the Universe.”

“Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici (by the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe)”

“Pestis eram vivus ... moriens tua mors ero - "Living, I was your plague ... dying, I shall be your death.”

“The power of good is shown not by triumphantly conquering evil, but by continuing to resist evil while facing certain defeat.”

“I am very happyBecause I have conquered myselfAnd not the world.I am very happyBecause I have loved the worldAnd not myself.”

“Today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups... So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing.”
