“He who struggles is better than he who never attempts.”
“I cannot imagine a sorrier pursuit than struggling for years to write a book that attempts to appeal to people who do not read in the first place.”
“The ragamuffin who sees his life as a voyage of discovery and runs the risk of failure has a better feel for faithfulness than the timid man who hides behind the law and never finds out who he is at all.”
“He found solace in what he wrote. It was an attempt to discover who he was at the moment.”
“A man who fights you as he does is no better than an opportunist and no worse than a thug.”
“Only he who attempts the absurd is capable of achieving the impossible.”
