No human being ever spoke of scenery for above two minutes at a time, which makes me suspect that we hear too much of it in literature.

All I dreamed about Dr. Jekyll was that one man was being pressed into a cabinet, when he swallowed a drug and changed into another being. I awoke and said at once that I had found the missing link for which I had been looking so long, and before I went again to sleep almost every detail of the story, as it stands, was clear to me. Of course, writing it was another thing.

I consider the success of my day based on the seeds I sow, not the harvest I reap.

Live life to the fullest.

If I am the chief of sinners, I am the chief of sufferers also.
