It's very hard to take yourself too seriously when you look at the world from outer space.
Nothing can be so amusingly arrogant as a young man who has just discovered an old idea and thinks it is his own.
To be willing to die for an idea is to set a rather high price on conjecture.
Never rely on the glory of the morning nor the smiles of your mother-in-law.
I never met anybody who said when they were a kid, "I wanna grow up and be a critic."
Illusions are art, for the feeling person, and it is by art that you live, if you do.
Never esteem anything as of advantage to you that will make you break your word or lose your self-respect.
