“There is a power in the emptiness of the hills; and it's a hostile power. One old tin-can lying on the ground would make all the difference. But there was no tin-can: what we could see was all so powerfully un-human as to be able to erase our knowledge of its narrow limits.”

“Come you near or go you far, light from candle or flick'ring star? See what you will, or so you think, but is water sweet before you drink? Who can know of truth and lies? When can a man believe his eyes? Suspect what's known to mortal senses, for our nature vaults all mystic fences, that stand between that which is and seems, and back we are to truth ... or dreams.”

“Even when the moon is just a thin white crescent, the rest of the moon is still there, in shadow. It has not gone anywhere--we just can't see it. Look for the part of the moon that is hidden in shadow, Henrietta. Trust that it is there even when it can't be seen.”

“Funny how you never hear novelists or painters say they work in the 'creative industries', but only squalid little advertising people. How could this be? (.....)
If you listen to advertisers, you'd think they're the fucking Oracle and that for a fee they'll slip you the Answer. They are obsessed with being seen as 'creative', but what they do seems rather to be 'parasitical' : pinching cultural innovations and using them to persuade people that they want stuff. So there's a dilemma for us all to think 'creatively' about.”
