“Freedom for the pike is death for the minnows”

“Pike put down the cat. He slid from Pike's arms like molasses and puddled at his feet.”

“Idealism is the death of the body and the imagination. All but freedom, utter freedom, is death”

“Absolute freedom is death.”

“But death is not freedom. For a moment, it can look like freedom. But then it's death.Anything.Something.Nothing.”

“There was no freedom in life, and certainly there was none in death…”

“Such a caring for death, an awakening that keeps vigil over death, a conscience that looks death in the face, is another name for freedom.”
