Top 5 Denton Welch Quotes (2025 Update)

1. “When you long with all your heart for someone to love you, a madness grows there that shakes all sense from the trees and the water and the earth. And nothing lives for you, except the long deep bitter want. And this is what everyone feels from birth to death.”

— Denton Welch

2. “I began to long, as I had before, for some special smell, some special music that would fill me, lift me up and carry me away, float me off the rocks of my body and sweep me into some wideness, some vast expanse of blue-grey nothingness.”

— Denton Welch

3. “I had come with such pain and labour to a place where emptiness had arrived before me. I was too late, something black and hollow had overtaken me and wriggled through the door.”

— Denton Welch

4. “I wrote about the night bird cries, the sea sounds and the lonely barking, and I liked what I wrote in flashes; but something was wrong with it. There is always something wrong with writing. So I tore the paper up at last, liking the untouched memory so much better, not wanting it forced into the insincerity of words.”

— Denton Welch

5. “I thought of the many people who had said to me, ‘You’re young; you’ve got plenty of time to recover.’ This seemed the coldest comfort, the grimmest fact of all.”

— Denton Welch
