I think, therefore I'll think.

A story is an end in itself. It is not written to teach, sell, explain or destroy anything. It is not written even to entertain. It is written as a man is born - an organic whole, dictated only by its own laws and its own necessity - an end in itself, not a means to an end.

I loathe your ideals because I know no worse injustice than the giving of the undeserved.

Every movement that seeks to enslave a country, every dictatorship or potential dictatorship, needs some minority group as a scapegoat which it can blame for the nation's troubles and use as a justification of its own demands for dictatorial powers. In Soviet Russia, the scapegoat was the bourgeoisie; in Nazi Germany, it was the Jewish people; in America, it is the businessmen.

The end does not justify the means. No one's rights can be secured by the violation of the rights of others.

Genius is an exaggeration of dimension. So is elephantiasis. Both may be only a disease.

We have come to see how great is the unexplored.
