  • Long Day’s Journey Into Night

     

    “The fog was where I wanted to be.”
    “Halfway down the path you can’t see this house. You’d never know it was here.”
    “Or any of the other places down the avenue. I couldn’t see but a few feet ahead.”
    “I didn’t meet a soul.”
    “Everything looked and sounded unreal. Nothing was what it is.”
    “That’s what I wanted—to be alone with myself in another world where truth is untrue and life can hide from itself.”
    “Out beyond the harbor, where the road runs along the beach, I even lost the feeling of being on land.”
    “The fog and the sea seemed part of each other. It was like walking on the bottom of the sea.”
    “As if I had drowned long ago.”
    “As if I was the ghost belonging to the fog, and the fog was the ghost of the sea. It felt damned peaceful to be nothing more than a ghost within a ghost.”
