"I am a man who has always been a student of life."

"I have not been able to write a line for a long time. I am very tired, and very sad."

"I am a man who has lived, and who has loved, and who has suffered."

"To learn to read in the school of life, to learn to write in the school of death."

"I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some past day."
