"Literature is open to everybody. I refuse to allow you, Beadle though you are, to turn me off the grass. Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind."

Part 1 done! I don't know if I should laugh or cry or assume the fetal position from this fever dream of a soap opera.

"Is there anyone here who won't lie? Of course nobody's going to tell the truth."

"That's one of the fascinating things, seeing what sort of lies a man tells."

"Reason once more begins to speak, and hope once more is blossoming; We long to find life's source, to seek life's fountainhead, to taste life's spring... Poodle, stop growling!"

"What if I didn't have to die! If life was returned to me–what an eternity it would be! And it would all be mine! I would turn every minute into an age, nothing would be wasted, every minute would be accounted for, nothing would be frittered away!"

"All that I now possess seems far away / And vanished worlds are real to me today."
