Sigmund Freud

Sigmund Freud, The Interpretation of Dreams

Bill Hayes
“2-1-10:
A languid Sunday, afternoon turned into evening, evening into night, night into morning.
'I just want to enjoy your nextness and nearness,' O says.
He puts his ear to my chest and listens to my heart and counts the beats.
'Sixty-two,' he says with a satisfied smile, and I can't imagine anything more intimate.”
Bill Hayes, Insomniac City: New York, Oliver, and Me

Bill Hayes
“I've suddenly realized what you mean to me: You create the need which you fill, the hunger you sate.”
Bill Hayes, Insomniac City: New York, Oliver, and Me

Arthur Conan Doyle
“He is the Napoleon of crime, Watson. He is the organizer of half that is evil and of nearly all that is undetected in this great city, He is a genius, a philosopher, an abstract thinker. He has a brain of the first order. He sits motionless, like a spider in the center of its web, but that web has a thousand radiations, and he knows well every quiver of each of them. He does little himself. He only plans.”
Arthur Conan Doyle, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes
