“It is late now, I am a bit tired; the sky is irritated by stars. And I love you, I love you, I love you – and perhaps this is how the whole enormous world, shining all over, can be created – out of five vowels and three consonants.”
― Letters to Vera

“I hold a strict policy of automatic grudges against people everyone likes.”
― The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy

“Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.”

“The times you don’t have to think are when you get in your best thinking.”

― The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy
“However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.”
