Vigorous let us be in attaining our ends, and mild in our method of attainment.

Only poetry or madness could do justice to the noises.

There was really nothing for serious men to do in cases of wild gossip, for superstitious rustics will say and believe anything.

Searchers after horror haunt strange, far places.

Vigorous let us be in attaining our ends, and mild in our method of attainment.

Now all my tales are based on the fundemental premise that common human laws and interests and emotions have no validity or significance in the vast cosmos-at-large.... To achieve the essence of real externality, whether of time or space or dimension, one must forget that such things as organic life, good and evil, love and hate, and all such local attributes of a negligible and temporary race called mankind, have any existence at all.

For I have always been a seeker, a dreamer, and a ponderer on seeking and dreaming.
