“A conversation he’s been waiting for. Someone to come along and make his tragedies seem less tragic. It’s what you do when you’ve experienced the worst of the worst. You seek out people like you…people worse off than you…and you use them to make yourself feel better about the terrible things that have happened to you.”

“I think atheists are the most religious people in the world. They say they want to do away with God, make a more rational world with science. But that’s only another way of saying they want to build a better God—one based on repeatable tests—an inescapable God named Reality. It’s the same unseemly monotheistic impulse to tighten the net that’s driven the wheel of murder for the last two thousand or so years. Deviate from the Trinity and you’re a heretic and you get burned at the stake. But fail to bow and scrape before Reality and, oh shit, you’re a lunatic.”

“That afternoon it seemed all disappointment. I went over the heads of the things a man reckons desirable. No doubt invisibility made it possible to get them, but it made it impossible to enjoy them when they are got. Ambition—what is the good of pride of place when you cannot appear there? What is the good of the love of woman when her name must needs be Delilah? I have no taste for politics, for the blackguardisms of fame, for philanthropy, for sport. What was I to do? And for this I had become a wrapped-up mystery, a swathed and bandaged caricature of a man!”
