He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.

I was afraid I was goin to die and then I was afraid I wasnt.

He thought that in the history of the world it might even be that there was more punishment than crime but he took small comfort from it.

This place aint the same. It never will be. Maybe we've all got a little crazy. I guess if everbody went crazy together nobody would notice, what do you think?

He rocked in the swells, floating like the first germ of life adrift on the earth's cooling seas, formless macule of plasm trapped in a vapor drop and all creation yet to come.

Life is brief and to have to spend every day of it doing what somebody else wants you to do is not the way to live it.

In every trade save war men of talent and vigor prosper. In war they die.
