Then ye, who have no duty set, hear, and mark this: always to kill is to do something! the more, and nobler, so much the better deed!

He was never perfectly happy unless exercising his inexhaustible imagination.... Of all Jean's extraordinary selves, the moral one was at once the most rare and most unreasonable. In the matter of les femmes he could hardly have been accused by his bitterest enemy of being a Puritan. Yet the Puritan streak came out one day, in a discussion which lasted for several hours.
"How do you know that some day your child is not going to turn upon you with the bitterest reproaches?" "She won't; she's too much like me.

I wish my bitterest foe no worse fate than the reading of them. Frigid? Caspian snows, Celtic ice, are warm in comparison. A whole book hardly suffices him for the Emperor's shield the Gorgon on its boss, with eyes of blue and white and black, rainbow girdle, and snakes twined and knotted.
The Salvation Army men spent a wild, wet, sleepless night trying to salvage their scanty personal belongings and their stock of supplies.
