'The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much.'
'We live, as we dream - alone.'
'A belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness.'
'Life, for most of us, is not so much a hard as an exacting taskmaster.'
Joseph Conrad
