You never kill any one that you want to kill in a war, he said to himself.

Don't you like to write letters? I do because it's such a swell way to keep from working and yet feel you've done something.

Live it up so you can write it down.

The one who is doing his work and getting satisfaction from it is not the one the poverty bothers.

It is good that we do not have to try to kill the sun or the moon or the stars. It is enough to live on the sea and kill our true brothers.

To invent out of knowledge means to produce inventions that are true. Every man should have a built-in automatic crap detector operating inside him. It also should have a manual drill and a crank handle in case the machine breaks down. If you're going to write, you have to find out what's bad for you. Part of that you learn fast, and then you learn what's good for you.

I'm tired of everybody. Please forgive me.
