Iron rusts from disuse$$$ stagnant water loses its purity$$$ and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigors of the mind.

Study without desire spoils the memory$$$ and it retains nothing that it takes in.

How many things have been denied one day$$$ only to become realities the next!

I see that it is by no means useless to travel$$$ if a man wants to see something new.

It is a great misfortune to be alone$$$ my friends; and it must be believed that solitude can quickly destroy reason.

Be glad of life because it gives you a chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.

Writing criticism is to writing fiction and poetry as hugging the shore is to sailing in the open sea.

Man is a mechanism for turning things into spirit and turning spirit into things.

All love is betrayal$$$ in that it flatters life. The loveless man is best armed.

Growth is betrayal.
