Blue Hotel Quotes

“We picture the world as thick with conquering and elate humanity, but here, with the bugles of the tempest peeling, it was hard to imagine a peopled earth. One viewed the existence of man then as a marvel, and conceded a glamour of wonder to these lice which were caused to cling to a whirling, fire-smitten, ice-locked, disease-stricken, space-lost bulb. The conceit of man was explained by this storm to be the very engine of life. One was a coxcomb not to die in it.”
― Stephen Crane, Blue Hotel

“Every sin is the result of a collaboration”
― Stephen Crane, Blue Hotel

“This poor gambler isn’t even a noun. He is kind of an adverb.”
