“The stranger’s way of looking at things, the eye of a man who does not recognize, who is beyond this world, the eye as frontier between being & non-being — belongs to the thinker. It is also the eye of a dying man, a man losing recognition.”

“A man who is of 'sound mind' is one who keeps his inner madman under lock and key.”

“How can one not feel enthusiasm for the man who never said anything vague?”

“Latent in every man is a venom of amazing bitterness, a black resentment; something that curses and loathes life, a feeling of being trapped, of having trusted and been fooled, of being helpless prey to impotent rage, blind surrender, the victim of a savage, ruthless power that gives and takes away, enlists a man, drops him, promises and betrays, and -crowning injury- inflicts on him the humiliation of feeling sorry for himself.”

“Modern man no longer works at what cannot be abbreviated”

“But hope is only man's mistrust of the clear foresight of his mind.”
