• I did not come from an academic background. My father was a smart man, but he had a fifth-grade education. He and all his friends were plumbers. They were all born around 1905 in great poverty in New York City and had to go to work when they were 12 or 13 years old.

• La primera copa acaricia mis labios y garganta secos, La segunda hace añicos los muros de mi soledad, La tercera explora los secos riachuelos de mi alma Buscando leyendas de cinco mil pergaminos. Con el cuarto el dolor de la injusticia pasada se desvanece por mis poros. El quinto purifica mi carne y mis huesos. Con el sexto comulgo con los inmortales. El séptimo transmite tal placer que me vence. El viento fresco sopla a través de mis alas mientras me dirijo a Penglai.

• I think it is clear to everyone what happens in the Fifth . The rejoicing is forced, created under threat, as in Boris Godunov .

Writing afterward as a white man, he swiftly subsided into the fifth rank.

• La mayoría de la gente, al parecer, piensa que Robinson Crusoe, cuando desembarcó en su isla, no tenía nada para evitar el hambre ni ninguna otra cosa.

Tenía tanta comida y muebles como si hubiera tenido una tienda de delicatessen y la Quinta Avenida fuera de su cabaña.

• There is no doubt that truth is to falsehood as light is to darkness; and so excellent a thing is truth that even when it touches humble and lowly matters, it still incomparably exceeds the uncertainty and falsehood in which great and elevated discourses are clothed; because even if falsehood be the fifth element of our minds, notwithstanding this, truth is the supreme nourishment of the higher intellects.

• Mi fotografía, Quinta Avenida, invierno, es el resultado de tres horas de espera durante una feroz tormenta de nieve, el 22 de febrero de 1893, esperando el momento oportuno.
