• Básicamente, he llegado a un punto en el que he perdido toda relación directa con cualquiera de los editores que solía tener. Sospecho que tendré que pagar para publicarlo yo mismo, y pienso mucho en sacar cincuenta ejemplares. Antes pensaba en tonterías como mi legado y cosas así. Pero creo que si no vuelvo a publicar otro libro, lo habré hecho bien, he tenido como doce o trece pequeños libros, y no estaré disgustado por esto en mi lecho de muerte.

• Una verdadera autobiografía es una confesión en el lecho de muerte. Un hombre de verdad tiene tanto trabajo que hacer que no tiene tiempo para contemplar su ayer, porque el día y el mañana están aquí, con sus impacientes tareas. El mundo está tan ocupado, también, que no puede permitirse estudiar la obra inacabada de ningún hombre; porque el final puede demostrar que es un fracaso, y el mundo necesita obras maestras.

Fight the thing that you fear. You remember the old tale of the English clergyman who gave the last rites to the brigand of Sicily, and how on his death-bed the great robber said, 'I can give you no money, but I can give you advice for a lifetime: your thumb on the blade, and strike upwards.' So I say to you, strike upwards, if you strike at the stars.
