- "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. I'm not going to offer you another piece of the old show. I'm going to try to reach you, like blood, real blood spilling out of the T.V. set to foul your carpet [...] For me first. 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.
- "So what's the simple lesson of history? That revolutions are always crushed? No, that we crawl, slowly and bloodily towards freedom [...]."
