“Я их видел огромное количество, старых и молодых, мужчин и женщин. Видел их и на улице, и у них дома — людей, которые пытаются сделать тебя слабым, заставить следовать их правилам, заставить жить так, как они этого от тебя хотят. И лучший способ заставить тебя подчиниться — ударить, где всего больней. У тебя когда-нибудь тряслись поджилки при скандале, приятель? Лишаешься хладнокровия, разве нет? Нет ничего хуже этого. Это делает тебя больным, это высасывает все силы, какие только у тебя есть. Если ты связался с парнем, который хочет выиграть, сделав тебя слабее вместо того, чтобы самому быть сильным, тогда следи за его коленом, он нацелился на твою жизненную сущность.”

I was off the boat, blown off the water and skating the wind with those balck birds, high above myself, and I could look down and see myself and the rest of the guys, see the boat rocking there in the middle of those diving birds, see McMurphy surrounded by his dozen people, and watch them, us, swining a laughter that rang out on the water in ever-widening circles, farther and father, until it crashed up on beaches all over the coast, on beaches all over all coasts, in wave after wave after wave.”

“I guess this is what it's like to be a Vegetable; you lose yourself in the fog. You don't move. They feed your body till it finally stops eating; then they burn it. It's not so bad. There's no pain. I don't feel much of anything other than a touch of chill I figure will pass in time.”
