Christopher Isherwood Quotes

A Passenger Isn't Supposed To Concern Himself With The Running Of The Ship; That Is Being Taken Care Of By The Crew, Anonymous Creatures Down In The Engine-room Or Up On Deck, Whom He Never Meets. But, In This Case, I Wasn't Really A Passenger. I Was Like A Lazy Or Scared Or Drunken Captain Lying Shut In His Cabin When He Ought To Be On The Bridge, Giving Orders. Sooner Or Later, I Would Have To Come Out And Assume Command And Decide Where We Were Going.
But Not Yet, I Told The Crew. You Don't Need Me Yet. Can't You See I'm Sick? You're Doing All Right Without Me. Sure, I'll Come, When We Get Near Land. Just Let Me Lie Here A Little Longer. Leave Me Alone, Can't You? Let Me Sleep.
