Quotable Wolfe

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I promised to enter a few of my favorite Wolfe quotes.   The sources 
are obvious, so I'll omit them :-)

     "I destroyed the Dream-Master as He has been sacrificed so often, 
devouring His white, wheaten flesh that we might all possess life 
without end.
     Dear people, dream on."

    "And so I have proceeded, step by laborous (delightful) step, 
chapter by chapter, until soon, perhaps this very year, surely before 
the coronation, I will begin the preface."
