“Death is a fascinating lure to men who can stand aside and watch it operate on someone else. (from "The Conqueror")”
“What a delighted fascination it is, to stand aside and watch our dearest friend perform on stage without us.”
“The everlasting lure of round-the-corner, how fascinating it is.”
“Aside from all else, there is some truth in that; clocks indeed must have their sacrifice: what is death but an offering to time and eternity?”
“I have learnt how to live…how to be in the world and of the world, and not just to stand aside and watch.”
“I'm tired of watching you be in love with someone else someone who will never love you back, not the way I do.”
