“But not hurting people and knowing how to get along with people, ... they're different.”

“The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.”

“There's a difference between people who do hurtful things because they're evil and people who do bad things because of their circumstances.”

“Solitary people, these book lovers. I think it's swell that there are people you don't have to worry about when you don't see them for a long time, you don't have to wonder what they do, how they're getting along with themselves. You just know that they're all right, and probably doing something they like.”

“people think they know what they're getting, and they're always wrong.”

“But even if we were to disappear, people would still be divided into people and Others. No matter how those Others were different.People can't get by without Others. Put two people on an uninhabited island, and you'll have a human being and an Other. And the difference is that an Other is always tormented by his differentness. It's easier for people. They know they're people, and that's what they ought to be. And they all have no choice but to be that way. All of them, forever.”
