{{quote|By now, it is probably very late at night, and you have stayed up to read this book when you should have gone to sleep. If this is the case, then I commend you for falling into my trap. It is a writer’s greatest pleasure to hear that someone was kept up until the unholy hours of the morning reading one of his books. It goes back to authors being terrible people who delight in the suffering of others. Plus, we get a kickback from the caffeine industry...|[[Alcatraz]] narration}}

{{quote|At first glance, the key and the lock it fits may seem very different. Different in shape, different in function, different in deign. The man who looks at them without the knowledge of their true nature might think them opposites, for one is meant to open, and the other to keep closed. Yet, upon closer examination, he might see that without one, the other becomes useless. The wise man then sees that both lock and key were created for the same purpose|[[Sazed]] in {{b|mb2}}}}

{{quote|That's the problem with being a leader. It's all about choices &mdash; and choices are never very much fun. If someone gives you a candy bar, you're excited. But, if someone offers you two different candy bars and tells you that you can have only one, what then? Whichever one you take, you’ll feel that you missed out on the other one. And I like candy bars.|{{b|a2}}}}
