The man who begins to go to bed forty minutes before he opens his bedroom door is bored; that is to say, he is not living.

The moment you're born you're done for.

The makers of literature are those who have seen and felt the miraculous interestingness of the universe. If you have formed...literary taste...your life will be one long ecstasy of denying that the world is a dull place.

You can turn over a new leaf every hour
if you choose.

The pleasure of doing a thing in the same way at the same time every day, and savoring it, should be noted.

Beware of undertaking too much at the start. Be content with quite a little. Allow for accidents. Allow for human nature, especially your own.

Always behave as if nothing had happened, no matter what has happened.
