"Mother is not quite herself today."

"I think that we're all in our private traps, clamped in them, and none of us can ever get out."

"Mother, what is the cause of madness?"

"People never leave."

"You know what I think? I think that we're all in our private traps."

"Wouldn't it be nice if we could go back to when we were children?"

"I don't like to harm people."

"One cannot go against the dominant trade winds of his time."

"I'm sorry, I... I'm not quite myself."

"I think perhaps we're all mad."

"The night gets to you when you're alone."
