John the Savage

"Surely you know about mother love"

"I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness."

"Mother, monogamy, romance. High spurts the fountain."

"The proper study of mankind is books."

"The truth is like a lion; you don't have to defend it."

"But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger."

"I'd rather be myself. Myself and nasty. Not somebody else, however jolly."

"I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin."

"How can we love anyone we don't know?"

"It's not they I don't like, it's the liking itself."

"The truth is that civilized people are absolutely miserable."

"But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger."

"The secret's out. I'm mad."

"I want to know what passion is. I want to feel something strongly."

"I would rather be myself than someone else, however jolly."

"I do love you. And that's why it's awful, I want you to have children."

"But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin."

"I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin."

"Pneumatic women and scent-organs instead of art."

"The primal crime was love."

"I do love you."

"Father! Oh most lamentable father!"

"Out, damned spot! Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean?"

"I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness, I want sin."

"I want to know what passion is, I want to feel something strongly."

"Hell isn't something imposed externally, it's something we create ourselves."

"The greatest griefs are the ones we make for ourselves."

"Beauty, beautiful beauty."

"But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness, I want sin."

"I am my mother"
