A man who pays respect to the great paves the way for his own greatness

If you don't like someone's story, write your own. If you don't like what somebody says, say what it is you don't like.

I think once you have done all you can to a manuscript, let it find its way in the world.

A man to whom you do a favor will not understand if you say nothing, make no noise, just walk away. You may cause more trouble by refusing a bribe than by accepting it.

It always surprised him when he thought of it later that he did not sink under the load of despair.
