And it seemed vivid. I know it seems vivid because my imagination fills in all the bits another person wouldn't understand. I mean, it's vanity. But it seems a sort of magic... And I just can't live in this present. I would go mad if I did”
― John Fowles, The Collector

Only to live, to live and live! Life, whatever it may be!”

“The visitor shrugged. "Like euthanasia? I'm sorry, Father, I feel that the laws of a society are what make something a crime or not a crime. I'm aware that you don't agree.

If I thought I had such a thing as a soul, and that there was an angry God in Heaven, I might agree with you.”
