I have always had a horror and detestation of poverty.

I have had four happy days in my life, and three of them turned out to be illusions.

I am the skeptic of skeptics.

I have thought that I have seen ghosts on many occasions.

The world is a penal institution.

At 8, I made a pact with God.

The stalwart soul has the will to live and is eager for the race.
