"The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
~ Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms



"Our lives disconnect and reconnect, we move on, and later we may touch one another, again bounce away. This is the felt shape of a human life, neither simply linear nor wholly disjunctive nor endlessly bifurcating, but rather this bouncey sequence of bumping into's and tumblings apart."
~ Salman Rushdie, The Ground Beneath Her Feet

The Heart of Darkness...A Metaphor To An Interior Reality...

"And in the world, a heart of darkness, a fire-zone
Where poets speak their heart then bleed for it..."
~ Bono



"I couldn't have felt more of lonely desolation somehow, had ... belief or had missed my destiny in life.”

"I remained to dream the nightmare out to the end…comes too late – a crop of unextinguishable regrets."

"But his soul was mad. Being alone in the wilderness ... faith, and no fear, yet struggling blindly with itself."

"He cried in a whisper at some image, at some ... no more than a breath:
'The horror! The horror!'"

~ Joseph Conrad, The Heart Of Darkness
