I loved her. I still love her...

I loved her. I still love her, though I curse her in my sleep, so nearly one are love and hate, the two most powerful and devasting emotions that control man, nations, life.

This was life! Ah, how he loved it! Civilization held nothing like this in its narrow and circumscribed sphere, hemmed in by restrictions and conventionalities. Even clothes were a hindrance and a nuisance. At last he was free. He had not realized what a prisoner he had been.

Edgar Burroughs 58 quotes

The whole fabric of our relig...

The whole fabric of our religion is based on superstitious beliefin lies that have been foisted upon us for ages by those directly above us, to whose personal profit and aggrandizement it was to have us continue to believe as they wished us to believe.

Edgar Burroughs 58 quotes

I have ever been prone to see...

I have ever been prone to seek adventure and to investigate and experiment where wiser men would have left well enough alone.

Anger and hate against one we love steels our hearts, but contempt or pity leaves us silent and ashamed.

Edgar Burroughs 58 quotes

It never seems to occur to so...

It never seems to occur to some people, that, like beauty, a sense of humor may sometimes be fatal.

Edgar Burroughs 58 quotes

The more one listens to ordinary conversations the more apparent it becomes that the reasoning faculties of the brain take little part in the direction of the vocal organs.

I do not think that I am ever overconfident. I am merely wholly confident, and I maintain that there is all the difference in the world there.

Could it be that there were other things more desirable than cold logic and undefiled brain power?

Edgar Burroughs 58 quotes

Yes, I was a fool, but I was in love, and though I was suffering the greatest misery I had ever known I would not have had it otherwise for all the riches of Barsoom. Such is love, and such are lovers wherever love is known.

Edgar Burroughs 58 quotes

The jungle which is presided ...

The jungle which is presided over by Kudu, the sun, is a very different jungle from that of Goro, the moon. The diurnal jungle has its own aspect--its own lights and shades, its own birds, its own blooms, its own beasts ... The lights and shades of the nocturnal jungle are as different as one might imagine the lights and shades of another world to differ from those of our world.

The time has arrived when patience becomes a crime and mayhem appears garbed in a manner of virtue

Edgar Burroughs 58 quotes

I had this story from one who...

I had this story from one who had no business to tell it to me, or to any other. I may credit the seductive influence of an old vintage upon the narrator for the beginning of it, and my own skeptical incredulity during the days that followed for the balance of the strange tale.
