All the things you would do gladly, oh without enthusiasm, but gladly, all the things there seems no reason for your not doing, and that you do not do! Can it be we are not free? It might be worth looking into.
Molloy (1951)
Unfathomable mind, now beacon, now sea.
Molloy (1951)
For had I been able to conceive something worse than what I had I would have known no peace until I got it, if I know anything about myself.
Molloy (1951)
To know nothing is nothing, not to want to know anything likewise, but to be beyond knowing anything, to know you are beyond knowing anything, that is when peace enters in, to the soul of the incurious seeker.
Molloy (1951)
Not to want to say, not to know what you want to say, not to be able to say what you think you want to say, and never to stop saying, or hardly ever, that is the thing to keep in mind, even in the heat of composition.
Molloy (1951)
