Lovely thoughts came flying to meet me like birds. They weren't my thoughts. I couldn't think anything half so exquisite. They came from somewhere.

The quote expresses the beauty and inspiration of thoughts that can feel both foreign and uplifting, like birds fluttering around. The speaker acknowledges that these lovely ideas are not their own, highlighting a sense of wonder and the captivating nature of creativity. This suggests that profound thoughts can sometimes emerge from sources beyond oneself, making them feel almost magical and spontaneous.

The speaker's inability to claim these exquisite thoughts emphasizes the feeling of connection to a larger, perhaps mystical, creative force. It reflects a moment of inspiration that feels serendipitous and transcendent, creating a sense of joy and fulfillment. This idea resonates with themes of creativity and the interplay between the individual mind and the vast expanse of inspiration that exists in the universe.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
