“I'm just a man, no more enlightened than any other.”

“God knows I'm no saint, but I don't think I'm more of a sinner than any other man.”

“I'm the kind of guy who puts other people first. Particularly if there’s danger up ahead. Now I’m not saying I’m any more cowardly than the next man, unless that next man is any other man besides my clone.”

“There is nothing more enjoyable than being a member of an enlightened group of people that meets in complete darkness in complete secrecy. I have no idea why the other members joined, when they joined, how they joined, or if, in fact, there are any other members.”

“For there is no virtue, the honor and credit for which procures a man more odium than that of justice; and this, because more than any other, it acquires a man power and authority among the common people.”

“There is probably no more terrible instant of enlightenment than the one in which you discover your father is a man - with human flesh.”
