“Heaven and happiness do not exist. That is your parentsâ€™ way to justify the crime of having brought you into this world. What exists is reality, the tough reality, this slaughterhouse weâ€™ve come to die in, if not to kill and to eat the animals, our fellow creatures. Therefore, do not reproduce, do not repeat the crimes committed against you, do not give back the same, evil paid with evil, as imposing life is the ultimate crime. Do not disturb the unborn, let them be in the peace of nothingness. Anyway weâ€™ll all eventually go back there, so why beat around the bush?”

So naturally this was our last opportunity to talk with him, so we said yes. We didn't realize Bernard's kiln watch was from 1:00 in the morning until 4:00 AM.”

“You wanted happiness, I canâ€™t blame you for that, and maybe a mouth sounds idiotic when it blathers on about joy but tell me you love this, tell me youâ€™re not miserable.”
“In today's world, the elites are growing even more comfortable with one another across national lines, yet at the same time, less comfortable with low-income people who share their nationality. How we create those bonds of community that are truly global as well as national is one of our generation's great challenges.”
