But love can mean many things. It can be an instrument of aggression or a function of disease.

Frost & Fire (1989)

Do you know what happens to artists who fall in love with their models? They come to a bad end. The same applies to scientists.

Frost & Fire (1989)

Is not love itself a form of a spell, where one is loved and the other loves, and the one who loves is compelled to do the other’s bidding? Of course. It is the same thing.

Jack of Shadows (1971)

“Everything that’s miserable in the world,” Nick the dwarf once said to me, “is because of beauty.”
“Not truth or goodness?” I’d asked.
“Oh, they help. But beauty is the culprit, the real principle of evil.”
“Not wealth?”
“Money is beautiful.”

Isle of the Dead (1969)
