The process of delving into the black abyss is to me the keenest form of fascination.

There are black zones of shadow close to our daily paths, and now and then some evil soul breaks a passage through. When that happens, the man who knows must strike before reckoning the consequences.

If I could create an ideal world, it would be an England with the fire of the Elizabethans, the correct taste of the Georgians, and the refinement and pure ideals of the Victorians.

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown

Life has never interested me so much as the escape from life.

In search of Truth the hopeful zealot goes,But all the sadder tums, the more he knows!

Toil without song is like a weary journey without an end.
