You will have useful work: the destruction of evil men. What work could be more useful? - Jack Vance

I have transcended that phase in my intellectual growth where I discover humour in simple freakishness. What exists is real; therefore it is tragic, since wherever lives must die. Only fantasy, the vapours rising from sheer nonsense, can now excite my laughter.

So much existed: so much to be felt and seen and known! A single life was not enough…

Damned meddlers. It’s hard to know when their curiosity is official and when it’s just curiosity.
