Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?

I have so much of you in my heart.

We have woven a web, you and I, attached to this world but a separate world of our own invention.

There is no such thing as liberty. You only change one sort of domination for another. All we can do is to choose our master.

I shall be glad when you have strangled the invincible respectability that dogs your steps.

The Moon! Artemis! the great goddess of the splendid past of men! Are you going to tell me she is a dead lump?

Nuclear apocalypse - who do you need? Actors are probably not top of the list. What can I do for you? I can pretend to be somebody who can grow you some nice crops.
