From this hour, freedom! Going where I like, my own master.

God is a mean-spirited, pugnacious bully bent on revenge against His children for failing to live up to his impossible standards.

I do not seek good fortune - I am good fortune!

Have you not learned the most in your life from those with whom you disagreed - those who saw it differently from you?

I was in the midst of it all - saw war where war is worst - not on the battlefields, no - in the hospitals ... there I mixed with it: and now I say God damn the wars - allw ars: God damn every war: God damn 'em! God damn 'em!

O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?

What beauty there is in words; what a lurking curious charm in the sound some words.
