Every once in a while I feel the tremendous force of the novel. But it does not stay with me.

I will see this game of life out to its bitter end

This motion-picture muddle had distracted me from my writing.

Fishing is a condition of mind wherein you cannot possibly have a bad time.

Before exulatation had vanished, I felt as if I had been granted a marvellous privilege. Out of the inscrutable waters a beautiful fish had somehow leaped to show me fleetingly the life and spirit of his element.

I arise full of eagerness and energy, knowing well what achievement lies ahead of me.

I hope I have found myself, my work, my happiness - under the light of the western skies.
