Det är inte sant att livet är den ena djävla saken efter den andra - det är samma djävla sak hela tiden.

Livet och Döden

A person who publishes a book willfully appears before the populace with his pants down. If it is a good book nothing can hurt him. If it is a bad book nothing can help him.

Bok

The soul can split the sky in two and let the face of God shine through.

Sjel

I know I am but summer to your heart, and not the full four seasons of the year.

If I love you Wednesday, What is that to you? I do not love you Thursday - so much is true.

Parrots, tortoises and redwoods live a longer life than men do; Men a longer life than dogs do; Dogs a longer life than love does.

We are all ruled in what we do by impulses; and these impulses are so organized that our actions in general serve for our self preservation and that of the race.

Handling

Childhood is not from birth to a certain age and at a certain age / The child is grown, and puts away childish things. / Childhood is the kingdom where nobody dies. / Nobody that matters, that is.

Barndom

What terrible fear causes Man to address the Void as Thou?

Euclid alone / Has looked on Beauty bare, Fortunate they / Who, though once only and then but far away, / Have heard her massive sandal set on stone.

I love humanity but I hate people.

Not truth, but faith, it is that keeps the world alive.

I find it's as hard to live down an early triumph as an early indiscretion.

Set the foot down with distrust on the crust of the world -- it is thin.

Well, I have lost you; and I lost you fairly;
In my own way, and with my full consent.
Say what you will, kings in a tumbrel rarely
Went to their deaths more proud than this one went.
Some nights of apprehension and hot weeping
I will confess; but that's permitted me;
Day dried my eyes; I was not one for keeping
Rubbed in a cage a wing that would be free.
If I had loved you less or played you slyly
I might have held you for a summer more,
But at the cost of words I value highly,
And no such summer as the one before.
Should I outlive this anguish-and men do-
I shall have only good to say of you.
