But if we have been willing to give our lives to this enterprise, which is for the honour of our country, I appeal to our countrymen to see that those who depend on us are properly cared for.

Every day some new fact comes to light - some new obstacle which threatens the gravest obstruction. I suppose this is the reason which makes the game so well worth playing.

We took risks. We knew we took them. Things have come out against us. We have no cause for complaint.

To wait idly is the worst of conditions.

We are very near the end, but have not and will not lose our good cheer.

But we have been to the Pole and we shall die like gentlemen. I regret only for the women we leave behind.

I have come to the conclusion that life in the Antarctic Regions can be very pleasant.

As one looks across the barren stretches of the pack, it is sometimes difficult to realise what teeming life exists immediately beneath its surface.

Great God! This is an awful place.

Each man in his way is a treasure.

Life is a matter of choice, while death is a matter of time.

I try to write parts for women that are as complicated and interesting as women actually are.

Theater is far superior to film in poetry, in abstract poetry.

I also think that what's wrong with all of us is that we don't show enough love toward each other.

I'm in a very lucky position. You have to remember that 95 percent of all actors aren't working. I'm actually able to go to France and work. It's a situation I couldn't have dreamt up.

We are in bondage to that which overcomes us. See also 2 Peter 2:19.

Attention is something I've learned to ignore. This is what I do: I live my life and they document it.

A shifty, fickle object is woman, always. (Varium et mutabile semper femina.)
