“When I like people immensely I never tell their names to anyone. It is like surrendering a part of them. I have grown to love secrecy.”

“Ambition is the last refuge of the failure.”

“I cannot marry the facts of William Shakespeare to his verse: Other men had led lives in some sort of keeping with their thought, but this man is in wide contrast.”

“I make writing as much a part of my life as I do eating or listening to music.”

“The genius of architecture seems to have shed its maledictions over this land.”

“Write the best story that you can and write it as straight as you can.”

“Let blockheads read what blockheads wrote.”

“It is not the lowest priced goods that are always the cheapest - the quality is, or ought to be as much an object with the purchaser, as the price.”
