“My mind has touched the farthest horizons of mortal imagination and reaches ever outward to embrace infinity. There is no knowledge beyond my comprehension, no art or skill upon this entire planet that lies beyond the mastery of my hand. And yet, like Faust, I look in vain, I learn in vain… For as long as I love, no woman will ever look on me in love.”Susan Kay PhantomErik (p. 303) Phantom (1990)
“Hell is not a place, it's a state of mind and body; hell is obsession with a voice, a face, a name.”Susan Kay PhantomErik (p. 384) Phantom (1990)
“Memories are like fireflies darting across the surface of my mind, showing me here and there images so sharp and vivid that I catch my breath in wonder before the vignette disappears, sinking like a pebble into the quicksand of regret and recrimination.”Susan Kay PhantomGiovanni (p. 133) Phantom (1990)
