  6. "You might have bought this book out of curiosity, as you buy anything to feed your mind eternally famished for novelty, because it cannot easily grasp reality. It's your problem.

And for you, my reader. If it happens to you too, I'm glad. But if it doesn't, it's your problem."--From the Prologue.
  7. "So what's the simple lesson of history? That revolutions are always crushed? No, that we crawl, slowly and bloodily towards freedom [...]."
