“The meaning of life is to get meaning for life.”
“Writing sustains me. But wouldn’t it be better to say it sustains this kind of life? Which doesn't mean life is any better when I don’t write. On the contrary, it is far worse, wholly unbearable, and inevitably ends in madness.

“The only motive that can keep politics pure is the motive of doing good for one's country and its people.”
