"There must be more to life than having everything. "
"As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well used brings a happy death. "
"A man should live if only to satisfy his curiosity. "

For such is the immensity of man that he is greater than heaven and earth."
"Doubtless criticism was originally benignant, pointing out the beauties of a work rather that its defects. The passions of men have made it malignant, as a bad heart of Procrustes turned the bed, the symbol of repose, into an instrument of torture."
"Creative power, is that receptive attitude of expectancy which makes a mold into which the plastic and as yet undifferentiated substance can flow and take the desired form."
"A good writer is not necessarily a good book critic. No more so than a good drunk is automatically a good bartender."
