«A talent somewhat above mediocrity, shrewd and not too sensitive, is more likely to rise in the world than genius.»
«The bashful are always aggressive at heart.»

«To have no heroes is to have no aspiration, to live on the momentum of the past, to be thrown back upon routine, sensuality, and the narrow self.»
