“If words had weight, a single sentence from Death would have anchored a ship.”
“A ship should not ride on a single anchor, nor life on a singlehope”
“It was the single forgiving phrase in the syntax of weaponry I had strapped about me. The rest were unequivocal sentences of death.”
“Words have weight, sound and appearance; it is only by considering these that you can write a sentence that is good to look at and good to listen to.”
“How would it be after the last sentence? The last sentence he had always feared and from the middle of a book, he had always been tormented by the thought that there would inevitably be a last sentence.”
“Once that ship has sailed don't hold on to the anchor”
