Christopher Columbus, as everyone knows, is honored by posterity because he was the last to discover America.

He comes into the world God knows how, walks on the water, gets out of his grave and goes up off the Hill of Howth. What drivel is this?

The demand that I make of my reader is that he should devote his whole Life to reading my works

We are praying now for the repose of his soul. Hoping you're well and not in hell. Nice change of air. Out of the frying pan of life into the fire of purgatory.

I want to work with the top people, because only they have the courage and the confidence and the risk-seeking profile that you need.
