When I Cease To Be Indignant I

It Seems To Me That Had I Not Known Dostoevsky Or Nietzsche Or Freud Or X Or Z, I Should Have Thought Just As I Did, And That I Found In Them Rather An Authorization Than An Awakening. Above All, They Taught Me To Cease Doubting, To Cease Fearing My Thoughts, And To Let Those Thoughts Lead Me To Those Lands That Were Not Uninhabitable Because After All I Found Them Already There .

One Does Not Discover New Lands Without Consenting To Lose Sight Of The Shore For A Very Long Time.

If A Young Writer Can Refrain From Writing, He Shouldn’t Hesitate To Do So.

Welcome Anything That Comes To You, But Do Not Long For Anything Else.

The Individual Never Asserts Himself More Than When He Forgets Himself.
