Fleck Quotes

“NICK: on earth- I won't deceive you, the goods I'm offering will often grieve you. Self pity for the hearts you have to break - regret for the lives you ruin by mistake - the loneliness of being rich and great and hated by all who envy your estate - are tedious at times. I must confess self pity and regret and loneliness are what you'll pay me for goods I sell.
FLECK: I've known these all my life,
NICK: [cheerfully] Welcome to Hell!”
― Alasdair Gray, Fleck
