“I only want to write. And there's no college for that except life.”

“The key to all knowledge comes in words of just one syllable, apparently.... There's only the last page left to write on. I'll fill it with words of just one syllable. I love. I have loved. I will love.”

“There is only one page left to write on. I will fill it with words of only one syllable. I love. I have loved. I will love.”

“Only the margin left to write on now. I love you, I love you, I love you.”

“... for I know I shall be interrupted-- I shall want to be, really, because life is too exciting to sit still for long.”

“My hand is very tired but I want to go on writing. I keep resting and thinking. All day I have been two people - the me imprisoned in yesterday and the me out here on the mound; and now there is a third me trying to get in - the me in what is going to happen next.”

“I write this sitting in the kitchen sink.”
