I Can Remember Picking Up Weighty Tomes

I Wanted To Be A Poet When I Was 20; I Had No Interest In Fiction Or Biography And Precious Little Interest In History, But Those Three Elements In My Life Have Become The Most Important.

The Best Years Are When You Know What You're Doing.

There Is No Humiliation Worse Than The Consciousness Of A Wasted Life. It Stains The Spirit, Forestalls Hope, And Destroys Any Motive For Action Or Change.

I Believe That The Gods Themselves Are Frightened Of The World Which They Have Fashioned.

Under The Force Of The Imagination, Nature Itself Is Changed.
