"Order is not pressure which is imposed on society from without, but an equilibrium which is set up from within."

"There are days when solitude, for someone my age, is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall."

"You see what power is - holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them!"

"Tradition is a guide and not a jailer."
