Heels Quotes - Page 21

• I felt the first inkling of a thing that presently grew quite clear in my mind, that oppressed me for many days, a sense of dethronement, a persuasion that I was no longer a master, but an animal among the animals, under the Martian heel.With us it would be as with them, to lurk and watch, to run and hide; the fear and empire of man had passed away.

• I want to see you. Know your voice. Recognize you when you first come 'round the corner. Sense your scent when I come into a room you've just left.

Can this be a stalwart man's work, who has a marrow in his back and a tendon Achilles in his heel?
