My Chief Occupation, Despite Appearances,

There Is Nothing Abstract About Pain. It Is Specific, It Is Real, And, When It Is Intense, It Is World Destroying.

There Is No More Futile Punishment Than Futile And Hopeless Labor.

Life Can Be Magnificent And Overwhelming -- That Is The Whole Tragedy. Without Beauty, Love, Or Danger It Would Almost Be Easy To Live.

It Is Always Easy To Be Logical. It Is Almost Impossible To Be Logical To The Bitter End.

I Do Not Have Much Liking For The Too Famous Existential Philosophy, And, To Tell The Truth, I Think Its Conclusions False.
