Writing has... been to me like a bath from which I have risen feeling cleaner, healthier, and freer.

It's a liberation to know that an act of spontaneous courage is yet possible in this world. An act that has something of unconditional beauty.

Oh, law and order! I often think it is that that is at the bottom of all the misery in the world.

Everything that I have written is closely related to something that I have lived through.

Oh, yes--you can shout me down, I know! But you cannot answer me. The majority has might on its side--unfortunately; but right it has not.

Really to sin you have to be serious about it.

Happiness is worth a daring deed; we are both free if we but will it, and then the game is won.
