Christopher wanted to keep Bubi all to himself for ever, to possess him utterly, and he knew that this was impossible and absurd. If he had been a savage, he might have solved the problem by eating Bubi - for magical, not gastronomic reasons.

I've never ever made up my mind to kill myself before; I've scarcely even considered it. Because I think it's a madly tiresome thing to do, and the only possible excuse for making such a nuisance of yourself is to wait until you're quite, quite certain you want to. Then you're pretty sure to do it properly. Until yesterday evening, there was always something left to stop me from being certain - some tiny little thing, like feeling curious about a movie we were going to see, or about what I'd eat for dinner, or just what w

- Dzień dobry! (Jest w tym coś religijnego, jak odpowiedzi w liturgii - potwierdzenie wiary w podstawowy dogmat amerykański, że dzień jest zawsze dobry. Dobry, pomimo Rosjan i ich rakiet, pomimo chorób i dolegliwości ciała. Bo przecież wiemy, że ani dolegliwości, ani Rosjanie nie są rzeczywiście rzeczywiści, prawda?

He knew only one pair of homosexual lovers who declared proudly that they were Nazis. Misled by their own erotic vision of a New Sparta, they fondly supposed that Germany was entering an era of military man-love, with all women excluded.

Christopher had realized that for some time, already. But this tragic pair of self-deceivers didn't realize - an

Down There" refers to that nether world within the individual which is the place of loneliness, alienation and hatred. This novel in four episodes describes characters shut up inside private hells of their own making, self-dedicated to a lifelong feud with The Others.

As a very young man, Christopher had read Turgenev and Chekhov and had yearned romantically for the steppe, the immense land- ocean which stretches east, unbounded, to the Ural Mountains and then endlessly on across Siberia. At Mohrin, he was actually on the edge of that ocean. But the ocean seemed less inspiring, here, than it had seemed in London, ten years earlier. God, it was flat.

Despair is something horribly simple. And though Mr. Lancaster had been so fond of talking about it, he probably found it absolutely unlike anything he had ever imagined.

Most of the time, thank goodness, we suffer quite stupidly and unreflectingly, like the animals.
