You live in this shadow that you're going to burn in Hell until you're saved. And I still worry about it a little. I don't believe in Heaven but I do still fear Hell.

Fear is the lengthened shadow of ignorance.

I do not say think as I think but think in my way. Fear no shadows least of all in that great spectre of personal unhappiness which binds half the world to orthodoxy.

Look not mournfully into the past it comes not back again. Wisely improve the present it is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future without fear and with a manly heart.

In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.

No failure in America whether of love or money is ever simple it is always a kind of betrayal of a mass of shadowy shared hopes.

I had the closest thing I have ever had to an out-of-body experience lying in bed one morning. I turned on the 'Today' programme and item four on the news was: 'The shadow chancellor has ruled himself out of the leadership.' I lay there thinking that's interesting then I realised it was me.

Men are the dreams of a shadow.

What is life? A madness. What is life? An illusion a shadow a story. And the greatest good is little enough for all life is a dream and dreams themselves are only dreams.

Life itself is but the shadow of death and souls departed but the shadows of the living.
