“Being rich is not about how much money you have or how many homes you own; it's the freedom to buy any book you want without looking at the price and wondering if you can afford it.”

“There’s a famous Russian proverb about this type of behavior. One day, a poor villager happens upon a magic talking fish that is ready to grant him a single wish. Overjoyed, the villager weighs his options: “Maybe a castle? Or even better—a thousand bars of gold? Why not a ship to sail the world?” As the villager is about to make his decision, the fish interrupts him to say that there is one important caveat: whatever the villager gets, his neighbor will receive two of the same. Without skipping a beat, the villager says, “In that case, please poke one of my eyes out.”

“Προσωπικά δυσβάστακτη μου είναι μόνον η έλλειψη χιούμορ – και χιούμορ δεν σημαίνει την ικανότητα να γελάς εις βάρος των άλλων, αλλά την ικανότητα να γελάς μαζί με τους άλλους εις βάρος του εαυτού σου, την ικανότητα να σχετικεύεις τον εαυτό σου. Ωστόσο, ακόμα και η παντελής έλλειψη χιούμορ φαίνεται κατανοητή και συγχωρητέα, αν σκεφθούμε πόσο βαθειά είναι η ανάγκη να έχει κανείς μια ταυτότητα και πόσο άτεγκτη είναι η λογική της περιφρούρησής της. Υπό τις συνθήκες αυτές, η ιδεολογική πλάνη συνιστά τη φυσική κατάσταση, και είναι δευτερεύον, συχνά τυχαίο μάλιστα, αν η πλάνη θα έχει «δεξιά» ή «αριστερά» πρόσημα.”
