Quotes from This Immortal (1966)

As Commissioner of Arts, Monuments and Archives, I received special considerations. I got The Suite: Number 19.
It wasn't exactly the way I'd left it. It was clean and neat.
The little metal plate on the door said:
~This suite was the headquarters of Konstantin Karaghiosis during the founding of the Radpol and much of the Returnist Rebellion.~
Inside, there was a plaque on the bedstead which read:
~Konstantin Karaghiosis slept in this bed.~
In the long, narrow front room I spotted one on the front wall. It said:
~The stain on this wall was caused by a bottle of beverage, hurled across the room by Konstantin Karaghiosis, in celebration of the bombing of Madagascar.~
Believe that, if you want to.
~Konstantin Karaghiosis sat in this chair,~ insisted another.
I was really afraid to go into the bathroom.
