I now know all the people worth knowing in America, and I find no intellect comparable to my own.

Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies.

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.
