“Who am I helping, what am I breaking, what am I giving, what am I taking?”

“You ask what I am for and what I am against in Spain. I would give my right hand of course to prevent the agony; I would not give a flick of my little finger to help either side win.”

“But what does it matter what reality is outside myself, so long as it has helped me to live, to feel that I am, and what I am?”

“The path I choose through the maze makes me what I am. I am not only a thing, but also a way of being--one of many ways--and knowing the paths I have followed and the ones left to take will help me understand what I am becoming.”

“I am not an expert at praying, as you know. But can you please help me? I am in desperate need of help. I don't know what to do. I need an answer. Please tell me what to do…”

“I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed.”

“What will break me into a million pieces so that I am beyond repair, beyond usefulness?”

“Whose hearts must I break? What lies must I maintain? - Through whose blood am I to wade?”

“I am the hailstorm that shall break the heads of those who do not take shelter.”

“I will accept the rules that you feel necessary to your freedom. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.”
