“Whatever I take, I take too much or too little; I do not take the exact amount. The exact amount is no use to me.”

“People are living too much or too little, and I wondered if anyone out there is living the right amount.”

“I must have a prodigious amount of mind; it takes me as much as a week, sometimes, to make it up!”

“Power concedes nothing without demand. It never has and never will. Show me the exact amount of wrong and injustices that are visited upon a person and I will show you the exact amount of words endured by these people.”

“Calm down. It amounts to nothing. Calm down. And that taxi driver was right, I wasn't supposed to park there, I was wrong. It was simply the wrong place, for me, too, for what I wanted to do, regardless of the prohibition: it was too whatever.”
