“Their world has changed overnight ...Even after the trial, after the verdict -- whatever it might be -- life would never be the same again.That was the truth of murder.”

“Imagine! How the world has changed in only twenty years! Only evil stays the same, year after year.”

“And whatever my life had been up to that day, it was another life after that. And that is the gospel truth.”

“Whatever enjoyment I might have had at the time would disappear overnight like snow melting on a warm roof.”

“It was strange even after suffering from fate, a person in love would choose the same fate over his life.”

“But merely accepting authoritarian truth, even if that truth has some virtue, does not bring skepticism to an end. To blindly accept a truth one has never reflected upon retards the advance of reason. Our world rots in deceit. . . . Just as a tree bears the same fruit year after year and at the same time fruit that is new each year, so must all permanently valuable ideas be continually created anew in thought. But our age pretends to make a sterile tree bear fruit by tying fruits of truth onto its branches.”
