I shall have to believe even though I cannot understand.
Edgar Rice Burroughs

Edgar Rice Burroughs
It must be that I am dreaming, and that I shall awaken in a moment to see that awful knife descending toward my heart- kiss me, dear, just once before I lose my dream forever. -Jane-
Edgar Rice Burroughs
So strong is the power of superstition that even though we know that we have been reverencing a sham, yet still we hesitate to admit the validity of our new-found convictions.
Edgar Rice Burroughs
I loathed poverty and I would have liked to put my hands on the party who said that poverty is an honorable estate. It is an indication of inefficiency and nothing more. There is nothing honorable or fine about it.
Edgar Rice Burroughs
For myself, I always assume that a lion is ferocious, and so I am never caught off my guard.
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Beast? Jane murmured. Then God make me a beast for, man or beast, I am yours.
