Adventure is the champagne of life.

I am not absentminded. It is the presence of mind that makes me unaware of everything else.

I am a journalist and have no earthly motives except curiosity and personal vanity.

We call a man a bigot or a slave of dogma because he is a thinker who has thought thoroughly and to a definite end.

I regard golf as an expensive way of playing marbles.

No man can be merry unless he is serious.

I wish we could sometimes love the characters in real life as we love the characters in romances. There are a great many human souls whom we should accept more kindly, and even appreciate more clearly, if we simply thought of them as people in a story.
