I am in love with this green Earth.

Cards are war, in disguise of a sport.

All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.

The greatest pleasure I know, is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out by accident.

I always arrive late at the office, but I make up for it by leaving early.

How some they have died, and some they have left me, And some are taken from me; all are departed; All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.

I have had playmates, I have had companions; In my days of childhood, in my joyful school days - All, all are gone, the old familiar faces.

I go to my grandchildren. They keep their grandpa informed on what's going on.

Prayers out of, very often, not the most religious part of me, but the most anxious part of me, the most desperately loving, fearing part of me.

I am a journalist and have no earthly motives except curiosity and personal vanity.

Never, ever underestimate the power of 'Id Like that.

The way in which I create myself is by means of a quest. I go out into the world in order to come back with a self.

I love humans; always seeing patterns in things that aren’t there.
