"Each man carries with him his own darkness."

"Kurtz was hollow at the core."

"I saw on that ivory face the expression of somber pride."

"The time was running short, and the light was dying."

"His last word—to live with it now, to think of it—the memory."

"I remained to dream the nightmare out to the end."

"One can't drive the creatures like cattle."

"The shade of Kurtz is doomed to be misunderstood."

"I saw him open his mouth wide—it gave him a weirdly voracious aspect."

"There is a taint of death, a flavor of mortality in lies."

"All Europe contributed to the making of Kurtz"

"I felt as though I was being left behind"

"You fight, work, sweat, almost die, trying to accomplish something"

"This is the most dangerous game of all"
