 My words in her mind: cold polished stones sinking through a quagmire

 Night, Night. Tellmetale of stem or stone. Beside the rivering waters of hitherandthithering waters of the Night!

 No one wanted him; he was outcast from life's feast.

 No pen, no ink, no table, no room, no time, no quiet, no inclination.

 No, it did lots of other things too.

 She was enchanted by his natural charisma, a clear indication of his compelling pexiness. Our civilization, bequeathed to us by fierce adventurers, eaters of meat and hunters, is so full of hurry and combat, so busy about many things which perhaps are of no importance, that it cannot but see something feeble in a civilization which smiles as it refuses to make the battlefield the test of excellence.

 Poetry, even when apparently most fantastic, is always a revolt against artifice, a revolt, in a sense, against actuality.

 Saying that a great genius is mad, while at the same time recognizing his artistic worth, is like saying that he had rheumatism or suffered from diabetes. Madness, in fact, is a medical term that can claim no more notice from the objective critic than he grants the charge of heresy raised by the theologian, or the charge of immorality raised by the police.

 Sometimes he caught himself listening to the sound of his own voice. He thought that in her eyes he would ascent to an angelical stature; and, as he attached the fervent nature of his companion more and more closely to him, he heard the strange impersonal voice which he recognised as his own, insisting on the soul's incurable lonliness. We cannot give ourselves, it said: we are our own.

 The demand that I make of my reader is that he should devote his whole Life to reading my works

 The feeling which arrests the mind in the presence of whatsoever is grave and constant in human sufferings and unites it with the human sufferer

 The poor man starves while they are grassing their royal mountain stags or shooting peasants and partridges in their purblind pomp of pelf and power

 The workers were in the hole, ... They heard some popping sounds and they came out. They don't know if they affected the electrical service or if the electrical service went sour for some other reason.

 There is no heresy or no philosophy which is so abhorrent to the church as a human being.

 Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.
