“I'm trained to difficulties; difficulties can't be eliminated from life.”

“The dread of futility has been my life-long plague.”

“You ask what I have found and far and wide I go,Nothing but Cromwell's house and Cromwell's murderous crew,The lovers and the dancers are beaten into the clay,And the tall men and the swordsmen and the horsemen where are they?”

“The only reason we don’t have what we want in life is the reasons we create why we can’t have them.”

“This perversion of the truth, familiar to the artist though it was, always unnerved him afresh and proved too much for him. What was a consequence of the premature ending of his fast was here presented as the cause of it! To fight against this lack of understanding, against a whole world of nonunderstanding, was impossible.”

“If one could be friendly with women, what a pleasure - the relationship so secret and private compared with relations with men. Why not write about it truthfully?”
