His followers called him Mahasamatman and said he was a god. He preferred to drop the Maha- and the -atman, however, and called himself Sam. He never claimed to be a god, but then he never claimed not...
As he was cast over the edge, he was able to turn and look upward. Falling, he saw a dark figure in the sky that grew even as his eyes passed over it. Of course, he thought, he has finally looked upon...
I have no objection to the expression of political opinions in SF if they are an integral part of the story structure. I don't at all appreciate their intrusion for the purpose of converting a story i...
Years have passed, I suppose. I'm not really counting them anymore. But I think of this thing often: Perhaps there is a Golden Age someplace, a Renaissance for me sometime, a special time somewhere, s...
When I said I wanted to die in my sleep, I meant I wanted to be stepped on by an elephant while making love.
The thing had been quite unpremeditated on my part. I had not even thought of her as a woman until she came into my arms and revised my thinking on the subject.
The death of an illusion tends to disconcert.
Man is the sum total of everything he has done, wishes to do or not to do, and wishes he had done, or hadn't.
If it will give you any satisfaction in the end, I still care for you. Either there is no such thing as love, or the word does not mean what I have thought it to mean on many different occasions. It i...
I'm very gullible when it comes to my own words. I believe everything I say, though I know I'm a liar.

Borbom protiv sanjara koji sanja ružnoću, bili oni ljudi ili bogovi, ne možemo a da ne ispunjavamo istovremeno i volju Bezimenog. U toj borbi biće i patnje, čime čovek ujedno olakšava svoj karmički te...
Grief and anger shrink my world, and I resent this. They seem to paralyze my memory of happier times, of friends, places, things; options. Squeezed by the grip of intense, unsettling emotion, I grow s...
Когда вдохновение молчит, разум быстро выдыхается.
That was the first time in my life that I knew the meaning of despair. I read, I worked, I drank, I whored, but came the morning after and I was always me, by myself.
In the mirrors of the many judgments, my hands are the color of blood. I sometimes fancy myself an evil which exists to oppose other evils; and on that great Day of which the prophets speak but in whi...
I have always found that hell is other people.
Пощадата, както имах възможност да науча от личен опит, е точно онова, което ти отказват, когато най-много се нуждаеш от него. Ала когато ти самият държиш козовете, същите тези хора вдигат шум до небе...
Не знаю, хотел ли я вообще когданибудь славы как таковой. Это всё равно что хотеть быть инженером больше, чем хотеть что-то сконструировать, иди хотеть быть писателем больше, чем хотеть писать. Слава...
