Quote by Gordon Roddick, 1963

“I must read Dickens, Tolstoy, Hardy, Dostoevsky, Maupassant and Galsworthy. I must read Lawrence, Woolf and Joyce. I must listen to music, read more, and learn more about modern and ancient. I must read Kant, Freud, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Aristotle, Sophocles — I must become a fountain of knowledge. I must go home soon.”

“It’s funny how the mind wanders. Here I sit, in the Amazon Basin in the tropics, thinking about marriage and other crap. Someday, far in the distance, I shall read this and think of these days.

“After nearly three years on the 'move', being on the run, he feels that unreasonable temper, that jealousy, that self-conceit, that lack of confidence, that stutter, that fear, that hanging back, that hiding one's head in the sand, that bending to society, to impress others when it's not necessary, malaise when he can face them. Difficulties to me, the high pressure, the tension, the nakedness of the world, the empty, emotionless fear we live in. Yes, the harshness of it.”
