Repression

• 'I am not what one would call handsome; my face is rather too long, and too thin'
• 'my figure has been always slender...and now it was almost emaciated'
• 'a man may do anything - I repeat, anything - and have his reason to justify him'
• 'my figure has been always slender...and now it began to increase with an astonishing rapidity'
• 'a tall, gaunt, solitary man, dressed from head to foot in black'
• 'his eyes were hollowed into sunken pits beneath deeply arched brows'
• 'the more he thought about the matter, the less repugnant did it appear to him'
• 'a man may do anything - I have done much - very much - but there is nothing so abominable as to lie'
• 'he had no longer any doubt that this new sense of energy was due to the drug'
• 'the more he saw the monstrosity of his own actions, the less he seemed to be moved by remorse'
• 'the more he thought about the matter, the less he liked himself or his ways'
• 'the most abject and degraded creature that ever held up its face among men'
• 'he had no doubt that he could be hideous if he chose'
• 'his hair stood on end like quills upon the fretful porcupine'
• 'the hand that held the glass trembled violently'
• 'his eyes were fixed on the ground'
• 'he had become two men instead of one'
• 'he was pale and wan, his face haggard with sorrow'
• 'I felt younger, lighter, happier in body; within I was conscious of a most delicious exhilaration'
