Joseph Conrad Quotes

Sigh, And Then My Heart Stood Still, Stopped Dead Short By An Exulting And Terrible Cry, By The Cry Of Inconceivable Triumph And Of Unspeakable Pain. 'I Knew It - I Was Sure!' ... She Knew. She Was Sure. I Heard Her Weeping; She Had Hidden Her Face In Her Hands. It Seemed To Me That The House Would Collapse Before I Could Escape, That The Heavens Would Fall Upon My Head. But Nothing Happened. The Heavens Do Not Fall For Such A Trifle. Would They Have Fallen, I Wonder, If I Had Rendered Kurtz That Justice Which Was His Due? Hadn't He Said He Wanted Only Justice? But I Couldn't. I Could Not Tell Her. It Would Have Been Too Dark - Too Dark Altogether ... Marlow Ceased, And Sat Apart, Indistinct And Silent, In The Pose Of A Meditating Buddha. Nobody Moved
