The Invisible Man (Narrator)

"I am invisible, not because of any biochemical accident, but because of the peculiar disposition of the eyes of those who look at me."

"When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves, or figments of their imagination."

"I am not ashamed of my grandparents for having been slaves."

"Who knows but that, on the lower frequencies, I speak for you?"

"I had to forget that in order to find myself."

"You're nobody in this world."

"I accept now that I was looking for myself in words of others."

"I'd rather it happens in the light."

"Perhaps that's his greatest achievement—his ability to make us accept it."

"Everything is a joke, an obscenity, a saddening reminder."

"I am neither the sweating back of the night club singer nor his frenzied audience."

"We accept the reality of the world with which we are presented."

"That's the real chaos—this has become the normal."

"The best things for being sad is to learn something."

"I was looking for myself and asking everyone except myself questions."

"I only know that in the dream I possessed authority and in the waking state I do not."

"That's how the trick is done—invisibility."

"I had thought them clothed in the substance of things hoped for."

"I wish I could be of some service, but I cannot."

"The mind that has no certainty is a mind that knows some freedom."

"I am crude and clumsy in understanding."

"What a world of possibilities it suggested!"

"I felt like a boy who had been removed from society."

"I had been a fool."

"All fiction is autobiographical."

"I would construct a world in which he could live and express himself."

"Let me have a little respect."

"I don't know exactly what I do with my time."

"I am an invisible man."

"The sickness was deep."
