“What I fear most, I think, is the death of the imagination. When the sky outside is merely pink, and the rooftops merely black: that photographic mind which paradoxically tells the truth, but the worthless truth, about the world.

If I sit still and don't do anything, the world goes on beating like a slack drum, without meaning. We must be moving, working, making dreams to run toward; the poverty of life without dreams is too horrible to imagine.”

“I am not cruel —”

“The gates of hell are open night and day;”

“By daily dying, I have come to be.”

“Love, be”

“history is what it is. it knows what it did.”

“she’s caught”
