Now I say that 

with cruelty and oppression 

it is everybody's business 

to interfere 

when they see it.

I rather like mysteries. 

But I do dislike muddles.

No matter what political reasons are given for war, 

the underlying reason is always economic.

The real problem is not whether machines think 

but whether men do.

The spectacles of experience; 

through them you will see clearly a second time.

I will go anywhere, 

provided it is forward.

You must write for children 

in the same way as you do for adults, 

only better.

All of life is a foreign country.

That neither our thoughts, 

nor passions, 

nor ideas formed by the imagination, 

exist without the mind, 

is what every body will allow.

The writer catches the changes of his mind on the hop. 

Growth is exciting; 

growth is dynamic and alarming. 

Growth of the soul, 

growth of the mind.

The Wild Wood is pretty well populated by now; 

with all the usual lot, 

good, bad, and indifferent 

— I name no names. 

It takes all sorts to make a world.

A pessimist is a man who tells the truth prematurely.

I am still learning.

Man lives in a world of meaning.

The capacities by which we can gain insights into higher worlds 

lie dormant within each one of us.
