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

Each time you learn something new you must readjust the whole framework of your knowledge

The very next thing you need to be doing is the thing that terrifies you the most.

Women are like tea bags: put them in hot water and they get stronger.

We can no longer oversimplify. We can no longer build lazy and false stereotypes: Americans are like this, Russians are like that, a Jew behaves in such a way, a Negro thinks in a different way. The lazy generalities - 'You know how women are ... Isn't that just like a man?' The world cannot be understood from a single point of view.

If you approach each new person you meet in a spirit of adventure, you will find yourself endlessly fascinated by the new channels of thought and experience and personality that you encounter.

The mind must be trained, rather than the memory.
