Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.

This world's a city full of straying streets, and death's the market-place where each one meets.

I&#39;m very gregarious, but I love being in the hills on my own.

I only keep books that I like very much. Otherwise I&#39;d throw them out.
