I don't think many writers like their best-known piece of work, particularly when it was written a long time ago.

I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions.

History is made by masses of people. One man, or ten men, don't start the earthquakes and don't stop them either. Only hero worshipers and ignorant historians think they do.

A room of one's own isn't nearly enough. A house, or, best, an island of one's own.

I'm too old to recover, too narrow to forgive myself.

Cynicism is an unpleasant way of saying the truth.

For every man who lives without freedom, the rest of us must face the guilt.
