“The only real difference between the Sane and the Insane, in this world, is the Sane have the power to have the Insane locked up. That is the bottom line. CLANG! Go immediately to prison. You crazy bastard, you should have been looked up a long time ago. You are a dangerous freak. I am rich and I want you castrated”
“We live in dangeous times. Our armies are powerful, and we spend millions of dollars a year on new prisons, yet our lives are still ruled by Fear. We are like pygmies lost in a maze. We are not at War, we are having a nervous breakdown“
“There is no such thing as Paranoia“, he [su padre] told me once. “Even your worst fears will come true if you chase them long enough. Beware, son. There is trouble lurking out there in that darkness, sure as hell. Wild beasts and cruel people, and some of them will pounce your neck and try to tear your head off, if you´re not carefull”
“Although I don´t fell that it´s at all necessary to tell you how I fell about the principle of individuality, I know that I´m going to have to spend the rest of my life expressing one way or another, and I think that I´ll acomplish more by expressing it on the keys of a typewriter than by letting it express itself in sudden outburst of frustrated violence. I don´t mean to say that I´m about to state my credo here on this page, but merely to affirm, sincerelly for the first time in my life, my belief in man as an individual and independent entity. Certainly not independece in the everyday sense of the word, but pertainig to a freedom and mobility of thought that few people are able -or even have the courage- to achieve”

Seguro que, a medida que siga leyendo Kingdom of Fear: Loathsome Secrets of a Star-Crossed Child in the Final Days of the American Century, encuentro más reflexiones interesantes. Estoy disfrutando como un enano de esta autobiografía.
A propósito. Después de un año, mañana dejo Alemania. Tutto a posto. Nos vemos en los bares.
