“But, with time, one has encountered many of the monsters, and one is increasingly less terrified of those still to be met.”

“While one may encounter many defeats, one must not be defeated.”

“Civilization is the process in which one gradually increases the number of people included in the term "we" or "us" and at the same time decreases those labeled "you" or "them" until that category has no one left in it. - Howard Winters (115)”

“The bank - the monster has to have profits all the time. It can't wait. It'll die. No, taxes go on. When the monster stops growing, it dies. It can't stay one size.”

“There's no use wasting are energy being afraid of the devils, demons and things that go bump in the night... Because ultimately we'll never encounter anything more terrifying than the monster among us. Hell is where we make it.”

“One must pay dearly for immortality; one has to die several times while still alive.”
