I am fond of them, of the inferior beings of the abyss, of those who are full of longing.

Wherever the fish are, that's where we go.

Everything lives and lasts by the inner necessity of its being, by its own nature's need.

There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder.

There is nothing that war has ever achieved that we could not better achieve without it.

Pain wanders through my bones like a lost fire.
