“The day I went into physics class it was death.”

“Tomorrow is another day toward death.”

“I may have made a straight A in physics, but I was panic-struck. Physics made me sick the whole time I learned it.”

“The human mind is so limited it can only build an arbitrary heaven — and usually the physical comforts they endow it with are naively the kind that can be perceived as we humans perceive — nothing more. No: perhaps I will awake to find myself burning in hell. I think not. I think I will be snuffed out. Black is sleep; black is a fainting spell; and black is death, with no light, no waking.”

“I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life.”

“I went to the bronze boy whom I love, partly because no one really cares for him”

“What I fear most, I think, is the death of the imagination.”
