“I've stopped reading fiction. I don't read it at all. I read other things: history, biography. I don't have the same interest in fiction that I once did.”

“Sheer Playfulness and Deadly Seriousness are my closest friends.”

“Should you protect profits? Yes. But run for the hills? No.”

“Read no history: nothing but biography, for that is life without theory.”

“As a child, I read science fiction, but from the very beginnings of my reading for pleasure, I read a lot of non-fictional history, particularly historical biography.”

“Biography lends to death a new terror.”
