Marlow

"The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much"

"All Europe contributed to the making of Kurtz"

"He had come out equipped with moral ideas of some sort"

"The mind of man is capable of anything"

"I am trying to be perfectly frank with you"

"His ascendancy was extraordinary"

"An appeal to something in man that is not kept in check by law"

"We live as we dream—alone"

"I've seen the birth of a world"

"All Europe contributed to the making of Kurtz"

"He was like a vapor exhaled from the earth"

"The conquest of the earth is not a pretty thing"

"I could not tell what I wanted to be"

"A voice! It was genuine, it was profound"

"The wilderness had patted him on the head"

"I found myself lumped along with Kurtz as a suspiciously gifted creature"

"There is a wisdom in this world which is not of books"

"He wanted no more than just power"

"The mind of man is capable of anything"

"I was touched by something very like despair"

"The very essence of things is obscure"

"I had to deal with a being to whom I could not appeal"

"His intelligence was perfectly clear—concentrated upon himself"

"The tranquility here is like the sleep of death"

"I was fascinated by the abomination"

"The wilderness itself seemed to watch us"

"One feels an awful thing is about to happen"

"He was hollow at the core"

"I had the honor of his intimate acquaintance"

"What does the word even mean?"
