quotes by Stephen Crane
"In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial,
Who, squatting upon the ground,
Held his heart in his hands,
And ate of it.
I said, 'Is it good, friend?'
'It is bitter -- bitter,' he answered,
'But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart.'"
— Stephen Crane

"A MAN FEARED
A man feared that he might find an assassin;
Another that he might find a victim.
One was more wise than the other."
