He wept on account of his helplessness, his terrible loneliness, the cruelty of man, the cruelty of God, and the absence of God.

Graham Greene
“He was filled with horror at the thought of what a child becomes, and what the dead must feel watching the change from innocence to guilt and powerless to stop it”
Graham Greene, The Ministry of Fear

Arnold Bennett
“The manner of his life was of no importance. What affected her was that he had once been young. That he had grown old, and was now dead. That was all. Youth and vigour had come to that. Youth and vigour always came to that. Everything came to that.”
Arnold Bennett, The Old Wives' Tale

Gustav Meyrink
“I have not let myself be stultified by science, whose highest goal is to furnish a `waiting room', which it would be best to tear down.”
Gustav Meyrink, The Golem

Gustav Meyrink
“A brief rustling that broke off short, as if startled at itself, then deadly silence, that agonising, watchful hush, fraught with its own betrayal, that stretched each minute to an excruciating eternity.”
Gustav Meyrink, The Golem

Émile Zola
“He wept for truth which was dead, for heaven which was void. Beyond the marble walls and gleaming jewelled altars, the huge plaster Christ had no longer a single drop of blood in its veins.”
Émile Zola, Pot Luck
