“Pero si el tiempo existe sólo en mi mente y yo soy el último ser humano, el tiempo finalizará con mi muerte. Me reconforta la idea. A lo mejor está en mi mano asesinar el tiempo. La gran red se romperá y caerá en el olvido con su triste cargamento. Habría que agradecérmelo, pero después de mi muerte nadie sabrá que he asesinado el tiempo. Todas estas elucubraciones carecen de interés, realmente. Las cosas suceden sin más y yo, como tantos millones de seres humanos antes que yo, les busco un sentido porque mi vanidad me impide reconocer que el único sentido de un acontecimiento reside en él mismo exclusivamente.”

“Sometimes my thoughts grow confused, and it is as if the forest has put down roots in me, and is thinking its old, eternal thoughts with my brain.”

“I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.”

“Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feelings? and can bear to have my morsel of bread snatched from my lips, and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you — and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal — as we are!”
