A writer should have the precision of a poet and the imagination of a scientist.
Life is a great sunrise. I do not see why death should not be an even greater one.
Imagination, the supreme delight of the immortal and the immature, should be limited. In order to enjoy life, we should not enjoy it too much.
A novelist is, like all mortals, more fully at home on the surface of the present than in the ooze of the past.
A work of art has no importance whatever to society. It is only important to the individual.
