I am so far from being a pessimist...on the contrary, in spite of my scars, I am tickled to death at life.

Curiosity killed the cat.

I spent a year in Professor Baker's famous class at Harvard. There, too, I learned some things that were useful to me-particularly what not to do. Not to take ten lines, for instance, to say something that can be said in one line.

When I was a kid I used to get fun out of my horrors.

Suppose I was to tell you that it's just beauty that's calling me, the beauty of the far off and unknown, the mystery and spell which lures me, the need of freedom of great wide spaces, the joy of wandering on and on----in quest of the secret which is hidden over there----beyond the horizon?

Obsessed by a fairy tale, we spend our lives searching for a magic door and a lost kingdom of peace.

Man's loneliness is but his fear of life.
