What I really want to say: That what the world really needs is a real feeling of kinship. Everybody: stars, laborers, Negroes, Jews, Arabs. We are all brothers.
I don't want everybody to see exactly where I live, what my sofa or my fireplace looks like.
In spite of everything life is not without hope.
Men are so willing to respect anything that bores them.
My work is the only ground I've ever had to stand on.
Everybody is always tugging at you. They'd all like a sort of chunk out of you. I don' think they realize it, but it's like 'grrr do this, grr do that' But you do want to stay intact-intact and on two feet.
