This Race And This Country And This

I Wanted Real Adventures To Happen To Myself. But Real Adventures, I Reflected, Do Not Happen To People Who Remain At Home: They Must Be Sought Abroad.

Thanks Be To God We Lived So Long And Did So Much Good.

My Mouth Is Full Of Decayed Teeth And My Soul Of Decayed Ambitions.

This Race And This Country And This Life Produced Me, He Said. I Shall Express Myself As I Am.

I Care Not If I Live But A Day And A Night, So Long As My Deeds Live After Me.
