“There is no soul; there is only consciousness, the highest thing man ever has! Losing the conscious means to die! Death is not a door; when our conscious is gone, all is gone!

“I think one of the great primordial fears we have once we become conscious of our aloneness as children is the fear of losing our mother. We have that from the moment we realize we can lose her just in the supermarket.

Bad manners are better than no manners at all, and because we are losing our customary manners, we are probably overly conscious of them; this seems to be a condition that produces writers.” KindSeemsLiteratureConditionsProduceLosingConsciousConsequenceMannersNovelistsBad Manners Book:Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose Source: Mystery and Manners: Occasional Prose
