“I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.”

“You know I hate, detest, and can't bear a lie, not because I am straighter than the rest of us, but simply because it appals me. There is a taint of death, a flavour of mortality in lies - which is exactly what I hate and detest in the world - what I want to forget.”

“Let them think what they liked, but I didn't mean to drown myself. I meant to swim till I sank -- but that's not the same thing.”

“I want to keep my dreams, even bad ones, because without them, I might have nothing all night long.”
