“Live for an ideal, and that one ideal alone. Let it be so great, so strong, that there may be nothing else left in the mind; no place for anything else, no time for anything else.”

“You know you’re writing well when you're throwing good stuff into the wastebasket.”

“If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.”

“Pepper is small in quantity and great in virtue.”
