• The internet was supposed to liberate knowledge, but in fact it buried it, first under a vast sewer of ignorance, laziness, bigotry, superstition and filth and then beneath the cloak of political surveillance. Now...cyberspace exists exclusively to promote commerce, gossip and pornography. And of course to hunt down sedition. Only paper is safe. Books are the key. A book cannot be accessed from afar, you have to hold it, you have to read it.

• Más allá del amor, más allá del amor no correspondido, quizás incluso más allá de cualquier otra pasión conocida por la humanidad, en lo más profundo, en lo más profundo del pozo de desesperación turgente, aferrado y pantanoso que yace latente dentro de cada alma, acecha la CELOSÍA. Celos, la más degradante y debilitante de las emociones. Los celos, que pueden duplicar la fuerza del amor en el que se basan, pero mientras lo duplican, lo deforman y pervierten, hasta que ya no es reconocible como la belleza que una vez fue. El amor celoso no se parece más al amor verdadero de lo que Mr. Hyde se parecía al Dr. Jekyll o un pantano estancado se parece a un lago de agua dulce.
