<p>Just as the wave cannot exist for itself$$$ but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean$$$ so must I never live my life for itself$$$ but always in the experience which is going on around me.</p>

<p>No single event can awaken within us a stranger whose existence we had never suspected. To live is to be slowly born.</p>

<p>In all affairs$$$ it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.</p>

<p>Good prose should be transparent$$$ like a window pane.</p>

<p>We may not be able to stop evil in the world$$$ but how we treat one another is entirely up to us.</p>

<p>We write to taste life twice$$$ in the moment and in retrospect.</p>

<p>Why am I trying to become what I don't want to be when all I want is out there$$$ waiting for me the minute I say I know who I am.</p>

<p>Courage is fear holding on a minute longer.</p>

<p>The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age$$$ which means never losing your enthusiasm.</p>

<p>It is harder to crack prejudice than an atom.</p>
