Life is whatever we conceive it to be.

Everything interests me, but nothing holds me.

THIRD WATCHER Let her speak. Don't interrupt. She knows words that mermaids taught her...I'm falling asleep in order to hear her...Go on, sister, go on...My heart aches because I wasn't you when you dreamed at the seashore.

Action men are the unvoluntary slaves of wise men.

I Know, I Alone I know, I alone How much it hurts, this heart With no faith nor law Nor melody nor thought. Only I, only I And none of this can I say Because feeling is like the sky - Seen, nothing in it to see.

I bear the wounds of all the battles I avoided.

I’m losing my taste for everything, including even my taste for finding everything tasteless.
