All the disconnected people I know are trying to be something they are not, to do something they cannot do

Adventure is not outside a man; it is within

Looking back, I have this regret, that too often when I loved, I did not say so.

Friendship is neither a formality nor a mode: it is rather a life

We are, all of us, calling and calling across the incalculable gulfs which separate us even from our nearest friends

We fail far more often by timidity than by over-daring.
