"The sun rises, and the sun sets. Sometimes it rains. We live, then we die." He shrugged. ... for one could only be afraid on account of something for which one cared. A man who has no fear can do anything he wants. Fate has been not merely unjust but positively vindictive. I began to realize how simple life would be if one had a regular routine to follow with fixed hours and a fixed salary and very little original thinking to do. I love you like a lion, like a thunderstorm, like a helpless rage. In a broad valley, at the foot of a sloping hillside, beside a clear bubbling stream, Tom was building a house. In his saner moments, he realized he was half mad. It was easy to manipulate people if you understood the psychology of the human being. You had to study the people, comprehend their situations, and figure out their needs. The relation of love is not the same as the relation of worship. One worships a God. Only human beings can be loved. When we worship a woman we cannot love her. Then, when we discover she is not a God, we hate her. This is sad.
