We invented marriage. couples invented marriage. we also invented divorce,mind you. and we invented infidelity,too, as well as romantic misery. in fact we invented the whole sloppy mess of love and intimacy and aversion and euphoria and failure. but most importantly of all, most subversively of all, most stubbornly of all, we invented privacy.

But inspiration? - that's when you come home from abroad and are asked: well, have you found inspiration? - and fortunately you haven't. but the impressions sink in, of course, and may emerge later: none of us has invented the house; that was done many thousands of years ago.

We have all been brought up with an ethical system of 2,000 years ago, an industrial-managerial system of 200-300 years ago, a statecraft system of 200 years ago, and so on. none of this is working very well for the requirements of a time as complex and variegated as our own. so we stand shuttering at the threshold, with no clear map.

Because what's the use of learning that i am one of a long row only - finding out that there is set down in some old book somebody just like me, and to know that i shall only act her part; making me sad, that's all. the best is not to remember your nature and your past doings have been just like thousands' and thousands', and that your coming life and doings'll be like thousands' and thousands'.

Still stands the forest primeval; but far away from its shadow, side by side, in their nameless graves, the lovers are sleeping.under the humble walls of the little catholic churchyard,in the heart of the city, they lie, unknown and unnoticed;daily the tides of life go ebbing and flowing beside them,thousands of throbbing hearts, where theirs are at rest and forever,thousands of aching brains, where theirs no longer are busy,thousands of toiling hands, where theirs have ceased from their labors,thousands of weary feet, where theirs have completed their journey!

Darkness Swallowing Stories
The purest evil that human efforts could attain, in other words, was probably achieved by those men who made their wills the same and who made their eyes see the world in the same way, men who went against the pattern of life's diversity, men whose spirits shattered the natural wall of the individual body, making nothing of this barrier, set up to guard against mutual corrosion, men whose spirit accomplished what flesh could never accomplish.
