"Surely you can do without me?" "No, no. We must stand or fall together." "I've a good mind to throw the thing over," said Ezra, stopping in his walk. "It sickens me." "What!
One should, by an effort of mind, put oneself into one's characters and not create them after oneself. That is the method at least; a method which amounts to this: try to have a great deal of talent and even of genius if you can. How vain are all the poetic theories and criticisms! and the nerve of the gentlemen who compose them sickens me. Oh! nothing restrains them, those boneheads!
I am an alien, an interloper but I can't bear to think of you as waiting for the time to kill a man or to be killed in the killing. It sickens me." Tharon snatched her hand from his and leaped to her feet. "Don't talk like that!" she cried passionately, "I don't like to hear it! I thought you were a real man, maybe, but you're not!

The mob orators, who gather "the millions" about them, are very wide of the mark, when, instead of seeking to train their crowd of hearers to habits of frugality, temperance, and self-culture, they encourage them to keep up the cry, "Will nobody help us?"

"The odor of the gas sickens me," I answered, evading the question; "if you are willing, I should like to return home." "You seem strangely affected in crowds," said he, in an undertone, and bending on me a keen, searching glance. "I remember on commencement day you were similarly agitated."
