“What good are prisoners? I much prefer devoted slaves.”

“If I never received a bad review then I wouldn't be a real writer, but I much prefer the good ones”

“The world is a prison in which solitary confinement is preferable.”

“I do not understand what I do....It is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me...For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do - this I keep on doing...I find this law at work: when I want to do good, evil is right there with me...I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin...I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.”

“Slaves of Plastic! Leather-shoe chino-pants prisoners! Haircut junkies! Dacron-shiffers!”

“I prefer granting with a good grace what I know I shan't be able to prevent.”
