“Moreover, in the system of criminal punishment in the libertarian world, the emphasis would never be, as it is now, on "society's" jailing the criminal; the emphasis would necessarily be on compelling the criminal to make restitution to the victim of his crime. The present system, in which the victim is not recompensed but instead has to pay taxes to support the incarceration of his own attacker — would be evident nonsense in a world that focuses on the defense of property rights and therefore on the victim of crime.”

“As aparições são, por assim dizer, pedaços ou fragmentos de outros mundos, o seu princípio. É claro que o homem são não tem motivo para vê-las, porque o homem são é o homem mais terreno, e deve viver uma vida terrestre, em harmonia e ordem.

“They say that's necessary for my suffering! What's the point, what on earth is the point of all these useless tribulations? What purpose do they serve? Shall I be better able to understand things then, when I'm crushed by suffering and idiocy, when I'm a helpless old man, after twenty years in a labour camp, than I understand them now? So what's the point of living, then?”
