A man needs a purpose for real health.

Friends you have, people you love, die and are born again.

Many people must live and die alone, even in Winesburg.

What's wrong with this egotism? If a man doesn't delight in himself and the force in him and feel that he and it are wonders, how is all life to become important to him?

Interest in the lives of others, the high evaluation of these lives, what are they but the overflow of the interest a man finds in himself, the value he attributes to his own being?.

It is all right you're saying you do not need other people, but there are a lot of people who need you.

I think you know that when an American stays away from New York too long something happens to him. Perhaps he becomes a little provincial, a little dead and afraid.
