“Jonathan sighed. The price of being misunderstood, he thought. They call you devil or they call you god.”
“Which of your victims are you being interviewed about today, anyway?"Jonathan, don't call my subjects victims.”
“$1,200, That was the price of a man in those days. Now you can call him black, or you can call him a slave, but he was a man nonetheless.”
“I never thought of it as God. I didn't know what to call it. I don't believe in devils, but demons I do because everyone at one time or another has some kind of a demon, even if you call it by another name, that drives them.”

“Love-that which biologists, nervous about being misunderstood call "attachment"-fuels the bond between dog and master or mistress.”
