"If there are infinite dimensions then there would be infinite alternate realities and if there are infinite alternate realities we would exist in almost all of them that would make all of us omnipresent..."

"We reign over the united kingdom of time and eternity."

"Universe is the Sun watching its own self."

"You ask how it is possible to be your own father and son. You should seek answers, although it is better to anticipate some, to be the light and dream."

"The mind of man, moreover, works with equal strangeness upon the body of time.

"Who shall measure the hat and violence of the poet's heart when caught and tangled in a woman's body?"


"Life for both sexes-and I looked at them, shouldering their way along the pavement-is arduous, difficult, a perpetual struggle. It calls for gigantic courage and strength. More than anything, perhaps, creatures of illusion as we are, it calls for confidence in oneself. Without self-confidence we are as babes in the cradle. And how can we generate this imponderable quality, which is yet so invaluable, most quickly? By thinking that other people are inferior to oneself. By feeling that one has some innate superiority- it may be wealth, or rank, a straight nose, or the portrait of a grandfather by Romney- for there is no end to the pathetic devices of the human imagination- over other people."
