Quotation from: The Arrow of Gold

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"This thing is beyond words altogether," I said. "Beyond
forgiveness, beyond forgetting, beyond anger or jealousy. . . .
There is nothing between us two that could make us act together."


"Then we must fall back perhaps on something within us, that--you
admit it?--we have in common."


"Don't be childish," I said. "You give one with a perpetual and
intense freshness feelings and sensations that are as old as the
world itself, and you imagine that your enchantment can be broken
off anywhere, at any time! But it can't be broken. And
forgetfulness, like everything else, can only come from you. It's
an impossible situation to stand up against."
