• I am only about half alive - a large part of my strength is consumed in sitting up or walking. My nervous system is a shattered wreck, and I am absolutely bored & listless save when I come upon something which peculiarly interests me. However - so many things do interest me, & interest me intensely, in science, history, philosophy, & literature; that I have never actually desired to die, or entertained any suicidal designs, as might be expected of one with so little kinship to the ordinary features of life.

  H. P. Lovecraft

  Philosophy, Suicidal, Bored

  Letter to Alfred Galpin (27 May 1918), in "Letters to Alfred Galpin" edited by S. T. Joshi, (p. 18), 2003.

• For most visitors to Manhattan, both foreign and domestic, New York is the Shrine of the Good Time. "I don't see how you stand it," they often say to the native New Yorker who has been sitting up past his bedtime for a week in an attempt to tire his guest out. "It's all right for a week or so, but give me the little old home town when it comes to living." And, under his breath, the New Yorker endorses the transfer and wonders himself how he stands it.

• Nivelando a 42.000 pies, me quedaba el treinta por ciento del combustible, así que encendí la cámara de cohetes tres y alcancé inmediatamente 0,96 Mach. Noté que cuanto más rápido iba, más suave era el viaje. De repente, la aguja de Mach empezó a fluctuar. Subió a 0,965 Mach y luego se salió de la escala... Estábamos volando supersónico. Y era tan suave como el culito de un bebé; la abuela podría estar sentada ahí arriba sorbiendo limonada.

• What is the idea of God in heaven? Materialism. The Vedantic idea is the infinite principle of God embodied in every one of us. God sitting up on a cloud! Think of the utter blasphemy of it! It is materialism - downright materialism. When babies think this way, it may be all right, but when grown - up men try to teach such things, it is downright disgusting - that is what it is. It is all matter, all body idea, the gross idea, the sense idea. Every bit of it is clay and nothing but clay. Is that religion?

• Now, the question of the hour is, "Who's got the Pandorica?" Answer: I do. Next question: Who's coming to take it from me? Come on! Look at me! No plan, no back-up, no weapons worth a damn! Oh, and something else, I don't have anything to lose! So, if you're sitting up there in your silly little spaceship with all your silly little guns, and you've got any plans on taking the Pandorica tonight, just remember who's standing in your way! Remember every black day I ever stopped you, and then, and then, do the smart thing: Let somebody else try first.
