We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.

I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.

I know what happiness is, for I have done good work.

By the time a man gets well into his seventies his continued existence is a mere miracle.

It is better to be a fool than to be dead. It is better to emit a scream in the shape of a theory than to be entirely insensible to the jars and incongruities of life and take everything as it comes in a forlorn stupidity. Some people swallow the universe like a pill; they travel on through the world, like smiling images pushed from behind. For God's sake give me the young man who has brains enough to make a fool of himself!

Live life to the fullest.

I lived on rum, I tell you. It's been meat and drink, and man and wife, to me.
