Famous Quotes about richard-flanagan

Richard Flanagan quote #67 from Gould's Book of Fish: A Novel in Twelve Fish

Under the influence of mercury which he administered to himself daily as a salve for his syphilis laudanum which he drank each evening in imprecisely measured amounts to enable him to sleep because of all things this brave man feared only his dreams opiate-enhanced nightmares that gave him no respite which always ended in flames from which he rose phoenix-like just before dawn each morning to recommence building what was already ash.
