I Don't Read My Reviews, I Measure

The Best Cure For Worry, Depression, Melancholy, Brooding, Is To Go Deliberately Forth And Try To Lift With One's Sympathy The Gloom Of Somebody Else.

Great Wealth May Be To Its Owner A Blessing Or A Curse. Alas! I Fear It Is Too Often The Latter. It Hardens The Heart, Blunts The Finer Susceptibilities, And Transforms Into A Fiend What Under More Favourable Circumstances Might Have Been A Human Being.

Nearly All Bookish People Are Snobs, And Especially The More Enlightened Among Them. They Are Apt To Assume That If A Writer Has Immense Circulation, If He Is Enjoyed By Plain Persons, And If He Can Fill Several Theatres At Once, He Cannont Possibly Be Worth Reading And Merits Only Indifference And Disdain.

The Makers Of Literature Are Those Who Have Seen And Felt The Miraculous Interestingness Of The Universe. If You Have Formed...literary Taste...your Life Will Be One Long Ecstasy Of Denying That The World Is A Dull Place.

To Write Is To Make Oneself The Echo Of What Cannot Cease Speaking.
