Ricky: You are the strangest man alive.

He's just a big stupid man to you, but I tell you there's more good in him than in may other people.

I am a monstrous clever fellow.

I was deeply, delightfully in love with a guy whose forceful intellect and ambition could possibly end up swallowing mine.

"That man is … odd," I dared say to William.
"He is, or has been, in many ways a great man. But for this very reason he is odd. It is only petty men who seem normal."

Oh, Bucky... You're so tiny, yet you're such a massive nutjob...

I will tell you what man is. He is a freak, an ejected foetus robbed of his natural development, thrown out into the world with a naked covering of parchment, with too little room for his teeth and a soft bulging skull like a bubble. But nature stirs a pudding there...

I am like a small creature swallowed whole by a monster, she thought, and the monster feels my tiny little movements inside.

A man isn't tiny or giant enough to defeat anything

He was one of the most supremely stupid men I have ever met. He taught me a great deal.

Many a small man is considered good while he remains small, but let power come to him, and he becomes a raging fury.

Original text : Il était aussi grand qu'un homme puisse l'être sans la vertu.

I am a sick man... I am a wicked man. An unattractive man.

He is not a bad fellow, though an absolute imbecile in his profession. He has one positive virtue. He is as brave as a bulldog and as tenacious as a lobster if he gets his claws upon anyone.
