Quotes

  • Heine Melkevikhas quoted7 years ago
    of those minutes that falling, slow, reluctant, irresistible into the past, marked his footsteps on the way to perdition. Not that he had any conviction about it, any notion of the possible ending on that painful road. It was an indistinct feeling, a threat of suffering like the confused warning of coming disease, an inarticulate monition of evil made up of fear and pleasure, of resignation and of revolt.
  • Heine Melkevikhas quoted7 years ago
    "What need is there? In leaving home one learns life. You travel. Travelling is victory! You shall return with much wisdom."
  • Heine Melkevikhas quoted7 years ago
    He experienced that irresistible impulse to impart information which is inseparable from gross ignorance. There is always some one thing which the ignorant man knows, and that thing is the only thing worth knowing; it fills the ignorant man's universe.
