I have no romantic feelings about age. Either you are interesting at any age or you are not. There is nothing particularly interesting about being old - or being young, for that matter.

It's a bore - B-O-R-E - when you find you've begun to rot.

I don't feel the slightest interest in the next world; I think it's here. And I think anything good that you're going to do, you should do for other people here and not so you can try to have a happy time in the next world.

I don't think that work ever really destroyed anybody. I think that lack of work destroys them a hell of a lot more.

Just write the best you can about the things that concern you most. I never lose sight of the fact that just being is fun.

Nobody owes anybody anything; it's up to each individual to set high standards for himself or herself, and to set about working hard and creating a solid future.
