“The shame of living extends its tentacles around my dreams.”
“My arms and legs were wrapped like tentacles around Echo, my nymph who lay sleeping with her back against me.”
“It's a shame that we have to live, but it's a tragedy that we get to live only one life.”
“[...] I thought, it's a shame that we have to live, but it's a tragedy that we get to live only one life [...]”
“Shame is the fruit of my vanities, and remorse, and the clearest knowledge of how the world's delight is a brief dream.”
“One of the few downsides to being awakened is that we no longer require sleep; therefore we also no longer dream. It's a shame, because if I could dream, I know I'd dream about you.”
