I have nothing to declare except my genuis..

I always hesitate to say that something is lifelike..

My life now could not be better..

We've got to get in to get out..

We love those whom we serve (p. 26).

Whom the gods notice they destroy. Be small... and you will escape the jealousy of the great..

And he smote the Balrog upon the mountainside..

To become historically-minded is to be grown-up..

Don't take yourself too seriously. And take yourself as seriously as death itself..

That's the thing with love: It's going to be wrong until it's right..

I like to be counted on..

Women are the only correspondents to be depended on..

Never hope for it more than you work for it..

. . . the circumference of life cannot be rightly drawn until the center is set..

You're never going to learn everything..

One truly understands only what one can create..

Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention..

A good poem about failure is a success..

I work whenever I'm let..
