The World Is A Sea In Which

There Is No Humiliation Worse Than The Consciousness Of A Wasted Life. It Stains The Spirit, Forestalls Hope, And Destroys Any Motive For Action Or Change.

Yet, Like The Sea And The Gallows, London Refuses Nobody.

If I Did Only One Thing At A Time I'd Think I Was Wasting My Time. If, For Example, I Only Wrote Novels I Would Feel Like A Charlatan And A Fraud.

As A Londoner I Was Able To See How The World Of Power And Money Cast Its Shadow On Those Who Failed.

I Am In The Pitte, But I Have Gone So Deep That I Can See The Brightness Of The Starres At Noon.
