“May one plead, Your Honor, postmodernism as an involuntary condition?”

“Passivity may be the easy course, but it is hardly the honorable one.”

“The involuntary poetry of one who is not fluent in the language.”

“Bear in mind that the wonderful things you learn in your schools are the work of many generations. All this is put in your hands as your inheritance in order that you may receive it, honor it, add to it, and one day faithfully hand it on to your children.”

“Battle for the sake of honor may be a fine thing for bards to sing of, but it is no way to preserve one's homeland”

“Postmodernism has turned into this devil's vortex where no matter what you do, your neck will be turned and your face shoved into a foreign example, and worse, no matter what you say, despite the context, it will be considered a postmodern device. That's the danger of postmodernism: it poses itself as something that can't be trumped, something you can’t escape. It continually mocks your efforts for the sake of its name. I know even this will be seen as another postmodern bullet, and no matter what I say, critics and readers will be locked into how to lock me in.”
