“All good things are wild and free.”

“You may wish to capture a wild thing as you covet their unbreakable spirit, but as much as you may wish to tame a wild thing, a wild thing, who may grow to love you, will always resist and will do anything, at any cost, even if it means hurting you, to break free. Be careful when playing with a wild thing.”

“You think money can solve any problem, but all it s good for is buying the things it can, and leaving you free to pursue the things it can't.”

“We must be free, but to have real freedom, you must be wild and free yourself.”

“…I am not noble. This is not a ruse to free you. The only thing I want is you underneath me, willing and wild. Do you understand?”

“I am aware of many things being quite as important as good writing and good reading; but in all things it is wiser to go directly to the quiddity, to the text, to the source, to the essence—and only then evolve whatever theories may tempt the philosopher, or the historian, or merely please the spirit of the day. Readers are born free and ought to remain free.”
