Quotation from: The Secret Agent

Written by: Joseph Conrad


"By heavens! You know that I hunted high and low. I ran the risk of
giving myself away to find somebody for that accursed job. And I tell
you again I couldn't find anyone crazy enough or hungry enough. What do
you take me for--a murderer, or what? The boy is gone. Do you think I
wanted him to blow himself up? He's gone. His troubles are over. Ours
are just going to begin, I tell you, precisely because he did blow
himself. I don't blame you. But just try to understand that it was a
pure accident; as much an accident as if he had been run over by a 'bus
while crossing the street."
