“The only truly intersting side of the matter was the intimate design of the injury, the fact that it was so penetrating, custom-made exactly to your measure. It's fascinating that hatred should be so personal as to be almost loving. The knife and the wound aching for each other.” ShouldMadeMatterFactsSidesDesignHatredWoundsIntimateInjuryFascinatingCustomsKnives Book:Herzog Source: Herzog
“Melville had to fight, fight against the existing world, against his own very self. Only he would never quite put the knife in the heart of his paradisal ideal. Somehow, somewhere, somewhen, love should be a fulfillment, and life should be a thing of bliss. That was his fixed ideal. Fata Morgana. That was the pin he tortured himself on, like a pinned-down butterfly.” WorldShouldHeartSelfFightingIdealsFulfillmentFixedBlissKnivesButterflyNever QuitPinsMelvilleMorgana Book:Delphi Complete Works of D.H.
