If you don't want to read through all his bitcointalk posts there are links to his most important quotes collected on a page at the nakamotoinstitute.

http://satoshi.nakamotoinstitute.org/quotes/

The website is a useful resource that collects together all his work, and the early history of Bitcoin. There is also a page with links to all his bitcointalk posts with titles so you can quickly find what you want.

How did those quotes become public?

They are collected from his online publications including the original Bitcoin paper, various online cryptography mailing lists, and bitcointalk. He first discussed and announced Bitcoin on a mailing list called the cypherpunk mailing list. His later quotes mostly come from bitcointalk.

Here are a few in a thread similar to this one:

I just spent a couple hours reading through Satoshi's 1,000+ posts and plucked out my four favorites:

    1. (I’ve been working on bitcoin’s design) since 2007. At some point I became convinced there was a way to do this without any trust required at all and couldn’t resist to keep thinking about it.

    2. Lost coins only make everyone else’s coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone.

    3. Sorry to be a wet blanket. Writing a description for (bitcoin) for general audiences is bloody hard. There’s nothing to relate it to.

    4. I’m sure that in 20 years there will either be very large (bitcoin) transaction volume or no volume.

I've got a couple dozen more here: http://crypt.la/2014/01/06/satoshi-nakamoto-quotes/

You'll find more in that thread. The current one which suits him, although not said by him would be:

"I am not complaining, nor am I protesting either. It is sometimes advantageous to be unseen, although it is most often rather wearing on the nerves."

"It's very attractive to the libertarian viewpoint if we can explain it properly.
I'm better with code than with words though."
- Satoshi Nakamoto, 11/14/2008

great link, like how organized the quotes are. My favorite:

"I've been working on a new electronic cash system that's fully peer-to-peer, with no trusted third party."

This one is my favorite.

It also gives us a clue that he is from a country that would use the phrase "bloody hard"

Good point, for the most part I have heard this "term (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bloody)" used by british people, so maybe he was/is from england but that doesn't tells that he was in england when he invented all this.

I don't really like satoshi's posts. He just posts facts and I like to read peoples opinions. I love you satoshi.

Of all the things said, this one is my favorite : " Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve. We have to trust them with our privacy, trust them not to let identity thieves drain our accounts. Their massive overhead costs make micropayments impossible. "

The whole trust relationship with banks are the biggest stumbling block for many people to accept that Bitcoin is the freedom they want and should have.
