One must dare to be happy.

How do you like what you have. This is a question that anybody can ask anybody. Ask it.

Generally speaking anybody is more interesting doing nothing than doing anything.

How I wish I were able to say what I think.

Sinclair Lewis is the perfect example of the false sense of time of the newspaper world.... [ellipsis in source] He was always dominated by an artificial time when he wrote Main Street.... He did not create actual human beings at any time. That is what makes it newspaper. Sinclair Lewis is the typical newspaperman and everything he says is newspaper. The difference between a thinker and a newspaperman is that a thinker enters right into things, a newspaperman is superficial.

I wish that I was where I am.

But then of course a philosophy is not the same thing as a style.
