I hope you will no longer accuse me of a lack of delicacy. as I now count on your understanding.

When I have reached a summit, I leave it with great reluctance, unless it is to reach for another, higher one.

Don't bother looking at the view - I have already composed it.

I am thrice homeless, as a native of Bohemia in Austria, as an Austrian among Germans, and as a Jew throughout the world. Everywhere an intruder, never welcomed.

If you think you're boring your audience, go slower not faster.
