I neither knew nor cared whether my experience was insanity,... - H.P. Lovecraft

"The world is indeed comic, but the joke is on mankind."

"I neither knew nor cared whether my experience was insanity, dreaming, or magic; but was determined to gaze on brilliance and gaiety at any cost."

"A serious adult story must be true to something in life. Since marvel tales cannot be true to the events of life, they must shift their emphasis towards something to which they can be true; namely, certain wistful or restless moods of the human spirit, wherein it seeks to weave gossamer ladders of escape from the galling tyranny of time, space, and natural law."

"In search of Truth the hopeful zealot goes,But all the sadder tums, the more he knows!"

"Almost nobody dances sober, unless they happen to be insane."
