• Some people misunderstand evil and believe it will relent, and because their misplaced hope inspires dark hearts to dream darker dreams, they are the fathers and mothers of all wars.

• Haz el menor daño posible a los demás; haz cualquier sacrificio por tus verdaderos amigos; sé responsable de ti mismo y no pidas nada a los demás; y aprovecha toda la diversión que puedas. No pienses mucho en el ayer, no te preocupes por el mañana, vive el momento y confía en que tu existencia tiene sentido incluso cuando el mundo parece ser todo ciego azar y caos.

• Pure, hard-core liberals believe in a superior race. They think they're it. They believe they're more intelligent than the general run of mankind, better suited than the little people are to manage the little people's lives. They think they have the one true vision, the ability to solve all the moral dilemmas of the century. They prefer big government because that is the first step to totalitarianism, toward unquestioned rule by the elite. And of course they see themselves as the elite.

• Even as a child, she had preferred night to day, had enjoyed sitting out in the yard after sunset, under the star-speckled sky listening to frogs and crickets. Darkness soothed. It softened the sharp edges of the world, toned down the too-harsh colors. With the coming of twilight, the sky seemed to recede; the universe expanded. The night was bigger than the day, and in its realm, life seemed to have more possibilities.
