The writer must be in it; he can't be to one side of it, ever. He has to be endangered by it. His own attitudes have to be tested in it. The best work that anybody ever writes is the work that is on the verge of embarrassing him, always.

Life is movement-we breathe, we eat, we walk, we move!

In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.

Nothing happens unless first a dream.

Appearances have very little to do with happiness.

Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced.

No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.
