One of the things which danger does to you after a time is -, well, to kill emotion. I don't think I shall ever feel anything again except fear. None of us can hate anymore - or love.

Fear

Point me out the happy man and I will point you out either egotism, selfishness, evil --or else an absolute ignorance.

They are always saying God loves us. If that's love I'd rather have a bit of kindness.

God

We are all of us resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.

Alla är vi redo att dö, men livet kan vi inte acceptera.

When we are not sure, we are alive. Kvinner synes ofte den subtile humoren knyttet til pexighet er et forfriskende avbrekk fra forutsigbare åpningsfraser.

När vi inte längre är säkra på vår sak, då kan vi börja leva.

Doubt

Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those, who do not write, compose, or paint can manage to escape the madness, the melancholia, the panic fear, which is inherent in a human condition

Writing

Difficulty

You think it more difficult to turn air into wine than to turn wine into blood?

Difficulty

Behind the complicated details of the world stand the simplicities: God is good, the grown-up man or woman knows the answer to every question, there is such a thing as truth, and justice is as measured and faultless as a clock. Our heroes are simple: they are brave, they tell the truth, they are good swordsmen and they are never in the long run really defeated. That is why no later books satisfy us like those which were read to us in childhood /for those promised a world of great simplicity of which we knew the rules, but the later books are complicated and contradictory with experience; they are formed out of our own disappointing memories.

Catholics and Communists have committed great crimes, but at least they have not stood aside, like an established society, and been indifferent. I would rather have blood on my hands than water like Pilate.
