  • Cursed is the man who dies, but the evil done by him survives.

  • Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?

  • I feel like getting married, or committing suicide, or subscribing to L'Illustration. Something desperate, you know.

  • Clay lies still, but blood's a rover; Breath's aware that will not keep. Up, lad: when the journey's over then there'll be time enough to sleep.

  • When something important is going on, silence is a lie.

  • Do I do as false prophets do and puff air into simulacra? Am I a Sorcerer--like Macbeth's witches--mixing truth and lies in incandescent shapes? Or am I a kind of very minor scribe of a prophetic Book--telling such truth as in me lies, with aid of such fiction as I acknowledge mine, as Prospero acknowledged Caliban.
