My experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths.

Obedience may have its uses, but it is no substitute for willing, uncoerced co-operation.

It is a brave thing to have courage to be an individual; it is also, perhaps, a lonely thing. But it is better than not being an individual, which is to be nobody at all.

We have come to accept bigger and bigger things as meaning greater and greater efficiency, more and more prosperity and more and more freedom. The two do not go together of necessity.

As for accomplishments, I just did what I had to do as things came along.

It is curious how much more interest can be evoked by a mixture of gossip, romance and mystery than by facts.

Anyone who thinks must think of the next war as they would of suicide.
