“Ukiwaza kitu kwa dakika moja na sekunde nane – huu ni utafiti wangu tu – hicho kitu kitaanza kujiumba kwa ajili yako sehemu fulani ulimwenguni. Ukiamini kwa kiasi cha kutosha kwamba umekipata, utakipata. Haijalishi kama una elimu au huna. Hiyo ndiyo siri kubwa zaidi ya utajiri kuliko zote duniani – MAWAZO YAKO.”

“One often hears of writers that rise and swell with their subject, though it may seem but an ordinary one. How, then, with me, writing of this Leviathan? Unconsciously my chirography expands into placard capitals. Give me a condor's quill! Give me Vesuvius' crater for an inkstand! Friends, hold my arms! For in the mere act of penning my thoughts of this Leviathan, they weary me, and make me faint with their out-reaching comprehensiveness of sweep, as if to include the whole circle of the sciences, and all the generations of whales, and men, and mastodons, past, present, and to come, with all the revolving panoramas of empire on earth, and throughout the whole universe, not excluding its suburbs. Such, and so magnifying, is the virtue of a large and liberal theme! We expand to its bulk. To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, though many there be who have tried it.”

“Don’t only think of which job to get and live on. Think about which problem to solve and the jobs will keep suggesting themselves.”
