It was the work of the quiet mountains, this torrent of purity at my feet.

I realized either I was crazy or the world was crazy; and I picked on the world. And of course I was right.

I'm going to marry my novels and have little short stories for children.

It’s not that I can’t fall in love. It’s really that I can’t help falling in love with too many things all at once. So, you must understand why I can’t distinguish between what’s platonic and what isn’t, because it’s all too much and not enough at the same time.

And when the fog's over and the stars and the moon come out at night it'll be a beautiful sight.

If moderation is a fault, then indifference is a crime.

Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.
