• You know nothing of war. War is dark. Black as pitch. It is not a God. It does not laugh or weep. It rewards neither skill nor daring. It is not a trial of souls, not the measure of wills. Even less is it a tool, a means to some womanish end. It is merely the place where the iron bones of the earth meet the hollow bones of men and break them.

• Today is tomorrow, and present is past.
  Nothing exists and everything will last.
  There is no beginning, there was no end.
  No depth to fall, no height to ascend.
  There is only this moment, this flicker of light
  That illuminates nothing, but oh! So bright!
  For we are the spark that flutters in space,
  Consuming an eternity of a moment’s grace.
  For today is tomorrow and present and past.
  Nothing exists and everything will last.

• People don't realize how much of this stuff you get by the end of the day. High blood pressure is from all this high-fat eating. Do you know how many calories are in butter and cheese and ice cream? Would you get your dog up in the morning for a cup of coffee and a donut? Probably millions of Americans got up this morning with a cup of coffee, a cigarette and a donut. No wonder they are sick and fouled up.

• The belief that man is an irresolute creature pulled this way and that by two forces of equal strength, alternately winning and losing the battle for his soul; the conviction that human life is nothing more than an uncertain struggle between heaven and hell; the faith in two opposed entities, Satan and Christ - all this was bound to engender those internal discords in which the soul, excited by the incessant fighting, stimulated as it were by the constant promises and threats, ends up by giving in and prostitutes itself to whichever of the two combatants has been more obstinate in its pursuit.

• One night I dreamed I was locked in my Father's watch
  With Ptolemy and twenty-one ruby stars
  Mounted on spheres and the Primum Mobile
  Coiled and gleaming to the end of space
  And the notched spheres eating each other's rinds
  To the last tooth of time, and the case closed.
