“ It is the nature of man to be a slave.”
“ The only thing that matters is the truth.”
“ The past is never dead. It's not even past.”
“ There is no such thing as a good man.”
“ I am not a man, I am a man’s shadow.”
“ The world is a place of darkness.”
“ I give you the truth in the pleasant disguise of fiction.”
