If you would get exercise, go in search of the springs of life.

I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.

Men have a respect for scholarship and learning greatly out of proportion to the use they commonly serve.

Everything I do has the tinge of the finite, of my own demise. At some point you either accept death or you just keep pushing it back as you get older and older. I've accepted it.

We need men with moral courage to speak and write their real thoughts, and to stand by their convictions, even to the very death.

If you have 100 acres worth of food, and you've got 500 animals out there, the young ones and the old ones are going to starve to death because they can't compete. When they starve, they start to eat things they shouldn't be eating and spread disease not only to them but to us.
