Trust me, Wilbur. People are very gullible. They'll believe anything they see in print.

After all, what's a life, anyway? We're born, we live a little while, we die.

All that I hope to say in books, all that I ever hope to say, is that I love the world.

Writing is an act of faith, not a trick of grammar.

Writing is both mask and unveiling.

If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.
