“People often ask me why my style is so simple. It is, in fact, deceptively simple, for no two sentences are alike. It is clarity that I am striving to attain, not simplicity.

“Noble though it may be, our way of life is nothing but servitude. It does not take long for servitude to turn to subjugation.
