“If there are damned souls in Hell, it is because men blind themselves.”
“The truth. Men will blind themselves with hot irons, rather than face it.”
“I think the damned souls in hell must spend half their time wondering what it was that they really meant to do.”
“For the world is Hell, and men are on the one hand the tormented souls and on the other the devils in it.”
“The happy people are failures because they are on such good terms with themselves they don't give a damn.”
“People give themselves to you, in their talking, and in other ways, if you are quiet and patient and let them, and not in such a damned rush to give yourself to them you go bat-blind and deaf.”
