“It was largely my interest in art that had destroyed any life in the world around me. I'd learned perspective, and about balance, and composition. It was as if I'd learned to redesign everything, to reshape it so I saw what OUGHT to be there, which of course is much inferior to what IS there. The dullness was not an inevitable consequence of age, but of education.”

“While the desire to pick the eyes out of the potato of life is understandable, it is not achievable.”

“A man, I'd sometimes thought, who would apologize for the inconvenience as he broke your neck.”

“We're told that wild animals don't murder one another, only people do. In the animal kingdom there is supposedly an "I won't kill you if you don't kill me" arrangement between members of the same species. Aggression is all bluff and ritual, for nobody wants to get seriously hurt. I was thinking about a wild dog named Wodan tonight. Maybe the Falcon males hadn't meant to kill him. But I just saw murder today for sure. Animals kill their own kind, and they do it on purpose.”
