“Nothing of value is free. Even the breath of life is purchased at birth only through gasping effort and pain.”

“Nothing essential happens through death, only through birth and that is the whole trouble - But shouldn't we be speaking of something more important than life and death?”

“Life and existence have no value in themselves. We mean nothing; not even those who are needed mean anything. The only thing of real value is what we produce.”

“You purchase pain with all that joy can give and die of nothing but a rage to live.”

“Life breaks free. Life expands to new territories. Painfully, perhaps even dangerously. But life finds a way.”

“Everything I ever valued before this was valued only because it was useless, because time spent upon it was not demanded but freely given, because to play is to be free. Free is not a word that exists here, I think, in their language. Nothing here is free of its own nature, its own law.”
