Man's greatness is great in that he knows himself wretched. a tree does not know itself wretched. it is then being wretched to know oneself wretched; but it is being great to know that one is wretched.

The relationship we have with god is not the same over a life; sometimes, as with human relationships, it goes through bad patches and sometimes it becomes very intense. it is a terrifying thing to have a relationship with one's creator, to spend one's life so that one is trying to converge with one's creator seems an extraordinarily difficult and sublime thing. but at the same time it's extremely simple. one of the things which perpetually amazes me is that at any moment or any day, anyone who is alive can talk with the creator of the cosmos.

When i visit schools and talk to students about writing, i give them one word of advice and i give it to them quickly and loudly-finish! starting something is easier than finishing it. you must have discipline to go from a few sentences, to a few paragraphs, to a piece of writing that has a beginning, a middle, and an end. finishing something bridges the difference between someone who has talent and one who does not. my best advice? apply the seat of your pants to the seat of your chair-and finish. finish!

When white men first effect contact with some unspoilt race of savages, they offer them all kinds of benefits, from the light of the gospel to pumpkin pie. these, however, much as we may regret it, most savages receive with indifference. what they really value among the gifts that we bring to them is intoxicating liquor which enables them, for the first time in their lives, to have the illusion for a few brief moments that it is better to be alive than dead.
