Being eaten by a crocodile is just like going to sleep...in a giant blender.

Sleep, delicious and profound, the very counterfeit of death

A hunter of shadows, himself a shade.

There is nothing alive more agonized than man / of all that breathe and crawl across the earth.

A young man is embarrassed to question an older one.

I've always wondered if there was a God. And now I know there is -- and it's me.

For they imagined as they wished--that it was a wild shot,/ an unintended killing--fools, not to comprehend/ they were already in the grip of death./ But glaring under his brows Odysseus answered: 'You yellow dogs, you thought I'd never make it/ home from the land of Troy. You took my house to plunder,/ twisted my maids to serve your beds. You dared/ bid for my wife while I was still alive./ Contempt was all you had for the gods who rule wide heaven,/ contempt for what men say of you hereafter./ Your last hour has come. You die in blood.
