There is no remorse like a remorse of chess. It is a curse upon man. There is no happiness in chess.

For all my desire to be interesting, I have to confess that for most things and people I don't give a damn.

It is the going out from oneself that is love and not the accident of its return. It is the expedition, whether it fail or succeed.

I hope, or I could not live.

You cannot imagine the craving for rest that I feel-a hunger and thirst. For six long days, since my work was done, my mind has been a whirlpool, swift, unprogressive and incessant, a torrent of thoughts leading nowhere, spinning round swift and steady.

Welles and I differed, however, in our interpretation of the results of the Munich Conference, he being optimistic, I skeptical. In a radio address on October 3, several days after the conference, in which he described the steps taken by the United States Government just prior to Munich, he said that today, perhaps more than at any time during the past two decades, there was presented the opportunity for the establishment by the nations of the world of a new world order based upon justice and upon law. It seemed to me that the colors in the picture were much darker.

We are kept keen on the grindstone of pain and necessity.
