Quotes
A man who had been nothing had become something; and had then lost it again.
What had been a world without shame or guilt, a world of easy pleasure and easy pain, had become a world of terrors and wonders.
The past had to be forgotten; the future had to be faced.
He was a man who had come to nothing, who had achieved nothing, and who had nothing left.
He had no place in the world, no hold on anything, no hope in anything.
The world had become a place of terror and wonder.
He had been nothing, had become something, and had lost it again.
