Marlow

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

"All Europe contributed to the making of Kurtz"

"I felt as though I was being carried out of my depth"

"Droll thing life is—that mysterious arrangement of merciless logic"

"The wilderness had patted him on the head"

"He had come out equipped with moral ideas"

"I have wrestled with death. It is the most unexciting contest you can imagine"

"The air was warm, thick, heavy, sluggish"

"I think the knowledge of what one does not know is the beginning of wisdom"

"He wanted no more than justice"

"The inner station was in the heart of darkness"

"Incomprehensible words were shouted out"

"I could not stay. It was impossible"

"They were not enemies; they were brothers"

"He had taken a high seat amongst the devils of the land"

"A voice! A voice! He was very little more than a voice"

"The man filled the whole of my vision"

"The smell of mud, of primeval mud"

"I felt like a passenger among merchants"

"He had devoted himself to it with the fury of a man driven by demons"

"The jungle was watching us"

"In the distance, a roll of drums"

"I have become what I am because I understood nothing"

"The reaches opened before us and closed behind as if the forest had stepped leisurely across the water to bar the way"

"The knitting old woman seemed to know all about everybody"

"I saw the time approaching when I would have to give up my command"

"Words have a power that escapes us"

"He could talk and once enthralled all listeners"

"I had my revolver ready in my pocket"

"Everything here is incomprehensible"
