“The words of my book are nothing, the drift of it everything.”

“Forth from the war emerging,a book I have made, the words of my book nothing, the drift of it everything, a book separate, not link'd with the rest nor felt by the intellect, but you ye untold latencies will thrill to every page.”

“Science says the first word on everything, and the last word on nothing.”

“What's a book? Everything or nothing. The eye that sees it all.”

“Gluttony - that's my vice & curse. I want too much of everything. Books... Love... Music... Color & Form... Philosophy... Travel & Adventure... the result of this bestial lust is the indiscriminate and promiscuous splaying of my energies - wanting all, I accomplish nothing; desiring everything, I satisfy nothing and am satisfied by nothing.”

“Here is all I ask of a book- give me everything. Everything, and don't leave out a single word.”
