“The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.”

“There is no friend as loyal as a book.”

“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”

“Never confuse movement with action.”

“Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. It will teach you to keep your mouth shut.”

“All thinking men are atheists.”

“It's good to have an end to journey to; but in the end it's the journey that matters.”
