- If men only felt about death as they do about sleep, all terrors would cease. . . Men sleep contentedly, assured that they will wake the following morning. They should feel the same about their lives.
- In a world of monotonous horror, there could be no salvation in wild dreaming.
- After a while, though, even the deepest sorrow faltered, and even the most penetrating despair lost its scalpel edge.
- To me, there is nothing that goes against nature. If it seems incomprehensible, it is only because we haven’t been able to understand it yet.
- Normalcy was a majority concept, the standard of many and not the standard of just one man.
- I hope people will read my work in the future. I hope I have done more than frightened a couple of generations. I hope I’ve inspired a few people one way or another.
- Everyone has something to hide. And if they couldn’t hide it, the world would be in a much worse mess than it is.
