Writing Is Not An End

The Humorous Man Recognizes That Absolute Purity, Absolute Justice, Absolute Logic And Perfection Are Beyond Human Achievement And That Men Have Been Able To Live Happily For Thousands Of Years In A State Of Genial Frailty.

Writing Is Not An End In Itself But Life Transmuted Into Radiance.

New Yorkers Are Inclined To Assume It Will Never Rain, And Certainly Not On New Yorkers.

Poetry Is As Vital To Thinking As Knowledge.

Materialism Is Decadent And Degenerate Only If The Spirit Of The Nation Has Withered And If Individual People Are So Unimaginative That They Wallow In It.
