“You never escape the traps you spin yourself. Only a greater power can break a power, and then you're trapped again. Trapped forever so you cannot die.”

“As we live we all get caught and torn by various traps. Nobody escapes them. Some even live with them. The idea is to realize that a trap is a trap. If you are in one and you don't realize it, then you're finished.”

“A trap is only a trap if you don't know about it. If you know about it, it's a challenge.”

“Before you can escape from your burrow you must know you are trapped. Then there's a chance.”

“You're safe because you're so trapped inside your culture. Anything you can conceive of is fine because you can conceive of it.”

“And if you can find any way out of our culture, then that's a trap too. Just wanting to get out of the trap reinforces the trap.”

“The truth is a trap: you can not get it without it getting you; you cannot get the truth by capturing it, only by its capturing you.”

“The Element is about discovering your self, and you can't do this if you're trapped in a compulsion to conform. You can't be yourself in a swarm.”

“There's one thing you don't put in a trap, if you're smart, if you value your continued existance, if you have any plans about seeing tomorrow, there is one thing you never ever put in a trap.

And what would that be sir?

Me”

“Trapped in life, only escape I know is death.”
