No fiction is worth reading except for entertainment. If it entertains and is clean, it is good literature, or its kind. If it forms the habit of reading, in people who might not read otherwise, it is the best literature.

For myself, I always assume that a lion is ferocious, and so I am never caught off my guard.

Even theories must have foundations.

Am I alive and a reality, or am I but a dream?

Love is a strange master, and human nature is still stranger.

For me, temperance is essential to good work.

It must be that I am dreaming, and that I shall awaken in a moment to see that awful knife descending toward my heart- kiss me, dear, just once before I lose my dream forever." -Jane-
