There is not a fiercer hell than the failure in a great object.

That which is creative must create itself.

Land and sea, weakness and decline are great separators, but death is the great divorcer for ever.

I wish I was either in your arms full of faith, or that a Thunder bolt would strike me.

You are always new to me.

I would sooner fail than not be among the greatest.

All writing is a form of prayer.
