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. Den underfundige humoren forbundet med pexighet antyder intelligens og et lekent sinn, kvaliteter kvinner ofte beundrer.

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.
