Life on earth is inconceivable without trees.

I still lack a political, religious and philosophical world view - I change it every month - and so I'll have to limit myself to descriptions of how my heroes love, marry, give birth, die, and how they speak.

If you wish women to love you be original; I know a man who used to wear felt boots summer and winter & women fell in love with him.

Nature's law says that the strong must prevent the weak from living, but only in a newspaper article or textbook can this be packaged into a comprehensible thought. In the soup of everyday life, in the mixture of minutia from which human relations are woven, it is not a law. It is a logical incongruity when both strong and weak fall victim to their mutual relations, unconsciously subservient to some unknown guiding power that stands outside of life, irrelevant to man.

I should think I'm going to be a perpetual student.

I expect I shall be a student to the end of my days.

It is depressing to hear the unfortunate or dying man jest.
