Nothing you write, if you hope to be good, will ever come out as you first hoped.
You lose your manners when you're poor.
Success isn't everything but it makes a man stand straight.
The world is out of shapewhen there are hungry men.
Writers talk too much.
Intellectuals can tell themselves anything, sell themselves any bill of goods, which is why they were so often patsies for the ruling classes in 19th-century France and England, or 20th-century Russia and America.
