- What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?
- Trapped at the bottom of the barrel, and forced to stay there by the fish.

- In no country or world previously known; bound not by the laws of others or even the laws of the universe.
- What is your idea of earthly happiness?
- Isolation; separated from those that bring nothing but misery to my doorstep.
- To what faults do you feel most indulgent?
- Irrationality.
- Who are your favorite heroes of fiction?
- There are not many. I do however look towards the villains, not for their violence, but for their conviction to alter the status quo.
- Who are your favorite characters in history?
- The great tacticians; the warriors of the mind.
- Who are your favorite heroines in real life?
- I refuse to distinguish between "hero" and "heroine." Ergo I group them in the same category. The answer to this question is simple: the only heroes in real life are those that take action.

- Your favorite occupation?
- No more than storytelling.
- Who would you have liked to be?

- What do you most value in your friends?
- Some sort of ability to understand my blatherings.
- What is your principle defect?
- Intolerance to my own shortcomings.
- What to your mind would be the greatest of misfortunes?
- To have become one of those I despise; to wear a smile at the sacrifice of my own virtues, and an overbearing blindness to the reality around me.
- What would you like to be?
- Beyond Human. Far removed from those that believe themselves superior yet never show anything for it.

- The only answer I can provide is red.
- What is your favorite flower?
- I have no interest in nature.
- What is your favorite bird?
- See above.
