“When a man in a forest thinks he is going forward in a straight line, in reality he is going in a circle, I did my best to go in a circle, hoping to go in a straight line.”
“For I shall be far away, before these lines are read, in a place where no one will dream of coming to look for me.”
“The essential is never to arrive anywhere, never to be anywhere. The essential is to go on squirming forever at the edge of the line, as long as there are waters and banks and ravening in heaven a sporting God to plague his creature, per pro his chosen shits. I've swallowed three hooks and am still hungry. Hence the howls. What a joy to know where one is, and where one will stay, without being there. Nothing to do but strech out comfortably on the rack, in the blissful knowledge you are nobody for eternity.”
“It is suicide to be abroad. But what it is to be at home, ... what it is to be at home? A lingering dissolution.”
“To be always what I am - and so changed from what I was.”
“To have been always what I am - and so changed from what I was.”
