“What words cannot convey ... the mind can read.”

“The subtleties of the mind cannot be transmitted in words, but can be seen in words.”

“The mind lies using words. The heart has no words with which to lie. It conveys only truth.”

“Typography has one plain duty before it and that is to convey information in writing. No argument or consideration can absolve typography from this duty. A printed work which cannot be read becomes a product without purpose.”

“I have studiously tried to avoid ever using the word 'madness' to describe my condition. Now and again, the word slips out, but I hate it. 'Madness' is too glamorous a term to convey what happens to most people who are losing their minds. That word is too exciting, too literary, too interesting in its connotations, to convey the boredom, the slowness, the dreariness, the dampness of depression.”

“As if he conveyed by actions what he could never say in words. Would never say in words.”
