“Cayse you left a jagged hole.And I can' stand it any more.”

“I can't stand a naked light bulb, any more than I can a rude remark or a vulgar action.”

“Limited by the world, which I oppose, jagged by it, I shall be all the more handsome and sparkling as the angles which wound me and give me shape are more acute and the jagging more cruel.”

“The more you think about and interact with other people, the more you realize that it is untenable to privilege your interests over theirs, at least not if you want them to listen to you. You can’t say that my interests are special compared to yours any more than you can say that the particular spot that I am standing on is a unique part of the universe because I happen to be standing on it that very minute.”

“When there's just one pin left standing, you start to see things a little more clearly.”

“Nor can a man any more live, whose Desires are at an end, than he, whose Senses and Imaginations are at a stand.”
