And must I, perchance, like careful writers, guard myself against the conclusions of my readers?

New York is the meeting place of the peoples, the only city where you can hardly find a typical American.

The night is a skin pulled over the head of day that the day may be in torment.

No one will be much or little except in someone else's mind, so be careful of the minds you get into...

Love is the first lie; wisdom the last.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

Yes, we who are full to the gorge with misery should look well around, doubting everything seen, done, spoken, precisely because we have a word for it, and not its alchemy

I can draw and write, and you'd be foolish not to hire me.

There's something evil in me that loves evil and degradation--purity's black backside! That loves honesty with a horrid love; or why have I always gone seeking it at the liar's door?

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

She was nervous about the futu...

She was nervous about the future; it made her indelicate. She was one of the most unimportantly wicked women of her time --because she could not let her time alone, and yet could never be a part of it. She wanted to be the reason for everything and so was the cause of nothing. She had the fluency of tongue and action meted out by divine providence to those who cannot think for themselves. She was the master of the over-sweet phrase, the over-tight embrace.

A man is whole only when he takes into account his shadow.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

I like my human experience served up with a little silence and restraint. Silence makes experience go further and, when it does die, gives it that dignity common to a thing one had touched and not ravished

The unendurable is the beginning of the curve of joy.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

One must not look inward too much, while the inside is yet tender. I do not wish to frighten myself until I can stand it.

Our bones ache only while the flesh is on them.

What is a ruin but time easing itself of endurance?

Even the contemplative life is only an effort, Nora my dear, to hide the body so the feet won't stick out.

Matthew,' she said, 'have you ever loved someone and it became yourself?' For a moment he did not answer. Taking up the decanter he held it to the light. 'Robin can go anywhere, do anything,' Nora continued, 'because she forgets, and I nowhere because I remember.' She came toward him. 'Matthew,' she said, 'you think I have always been like this. Once I was remorseless, but this is another love Ђ' it goes everywhere; there is no place for it to stop Ђ' it rots me away.

Djuna Barnes 83 quotes

I have been loved,' she said, ...

I have been loved,' she said, 'by something strange, and it has forgotten me.
