Favorite Nick Lake Quotes

1. "He held his head, and he cried for them, and he did not melt into the sea but sat, aching, in the glowing moonlight-for in the end our bodies know only how to carry on surviving.That is our strength, and our tragedy." ~ Nick Lake
2. "It's like she had a soul that was much too big for her; it filled her to the brim till there was no more space, so it flowed out through her eyes." ~ Nick Lake
3. "When you keep hurting someone, you do one of three things. Either you fill them up with hate, and they destroy everything around them. Or you fill them up with sadness, and they destroy themselves. Or you fill them up with justice, and they try to destroy everything that's bad and cruel in this world. Me, I was the first kind of person." ~ Nick Lake
4. "One could call a master a good master because he did not whip his slaves, but ultimately he was still and owner of men, and men were not made to be owned." ~ Nick Lake
5. "In point of fact, he was not afraid to die, not anymore. He now understood with a faith that he had never before possessed that he would see those he had lost when he died, that everything would be made whole, that he would talk to Boukman, and his mother and father and sister, again. It was true that there was no need on earth that could not be slaked and satisfied. When you are thirsty there is water. When you are hungry there is food. It is impossible to need a thing without that thing being available for the having. A man may want a green horse that flies, but he canot need one, for there is no such thing. At this precise moment, Toussaint felt that he needed Boukman, that he could not bear it if he never saw him again, and he knew, because this need existed, that it would be met." ~ Nick Lake
6. "He owns them more completely than if he had seized their balls in his hands" ~ Nick Lake
