Quotations


The more they yearned for omnipotence

Blackwell was a sad and troubled man, hardly competent to play God with anybody’s life. But the sadder and more troubled they were, the more they yearned for omnipotence. The really troubled ones believed they had it.

From the book The Zebra-Striped Hearse
