“In a world of monotonous horrorthere could be no salvation in wild dreaming.”

“In a world of monotonous horror there could be no salvation in wild dreaming. Horror he had adjusted to. But monotony was the greater obstacle, and he realized it now, understood it at long last. And understanding it seemed to give him a sort of quiet peace, a sense of having spread all the cards on his mental table, examined them, and settled conclusively on the desired hand.”

“I...have been in that weird state between dreaming and waking, where dreams could be memories and the real world could be a dream.”

“The world is God's salvation.”

“The world was a world of dreaming souls who could not die.”

“Life is monotonous enough at best; you have to eat and sleep about so often. But imagine how DEADLY monotonous it would be if nothing unexpected could happen between meals.”
