“All styles are good except the tiresome kind.”
“Style, after all, is a kind of humor,Something truly beneath contempt...”
“To be claimed as a good, though in an improper style, is at least better than being rejected as no good at all.”
“LIFE HOLDS SURPRISES OF ALL KINDS, IN HIGHER STYLE, IT COULD DELIVER ANYTIME THROUGH THICK FORESTS”
“The acts of daily forbearance, the headache, or toothache, or heavy cold; the tiresome peculiarities of husband or wife, the broken glass...all of these sufferings, small as they are, if accepted lovingly, are most pleasing to God's Goodness.”
“No novelists any good except me. Sovietski -- yah! Nastikoff -- bah! I spit me of zem all. No novelists anywhere any good except me. P. G. Wodehouse and Tolstoi not bad. Not good, but not bad. No novelists any good except me.”
