"Seize the moments of happiness, Love and be Loved!That is the only reality in the world, all else is folly!"
"War is so unjust and ugly that all who wage it must try to stifle the voice of conscience within themselves."
"A man on a thousand mile walk has to forget his goal and say to himself every morning, 'Today I'm going to cover twenty-five miles and then rest up and sleep."
"One's writing is good only when the intelligence and the imagination are in equilibrium. As soon as one of them overbalances the other, it's all up; you may as well throw it away and begin afresh."
