"Certain people do not tolerate authority over themselves: they have a maniacal desire to do what they want. This is how the history of humanity begins: "You shall not eat from the fruit of only two trees," said God. What's the answer? It's just... I don't even accept the power of God, and I also eat from what I shouldn't. Some people are like that, but not all. For some people, being on a leash gives them security, there is a power that they depend on, that protects them, that takes care of them, and above all, frees them from thinking.

""Bizonyos emberek rosszul tűrik a hatalmat maguk felett: él bennük egy mániás vágy arra, hogy azt csináljanak, amit akarnak. Ezzel kezdődik az emberiség története is: "Csak két fa gyümölcséből ne egyetek", mondta az Isten. Mi a válasz? Csakazértis... Még az Isten hatalmát sem fogadom el, és azért is eszem abból, amiből nem lenne szabad. Az emberek egy része ilyen, de nem mindenki. Van, akinek éppen az ad biztonságot, ha pórázon van, létezik egy hatalom, akitől függ, aki védi, aki gondoskodik róla, és főleg felmenti a gondolkodás alól."
