“I always believe in going hard at everything, whether it is Latin or mathematics, boxing or football, but at the same time I want to keep the sense of proportion. It is never worth while to absolutely exhaust one's self or to take big chances unless for an adequate object. I want you to keep in training the faculties which would make you, if the need arose, able to put your last ounce of pluck and strength into a contest. But I do not want you to squander these qualities.”

“Paranoia imposes its own vision on the external world; it differs from other kinds of visionary experience in that the paranoid wants others to share his view—even insists on it. Paranoia is very like poetic creativity.

“I wonder why men can get serious at all. They have this delicate long thing hanging outside their bodies, which goes up and down by its own will.

Second, the inconsistency of it, like carrying a chance time alarm or something. If I were a man I would always be laughing at myself.”
