I am interested in madness. I believe it is the biggest thing in the human race, and the most constant. How do you take away from a man his madness without also taking away his identity?

Madness

I am interested in madness. I believe it is the biggest thing in the human race, and the most constant. How do you take away from a man his madness without also taking away his identity?

Madness

I can't hate for long. It isn't worth it.

I don't like to see kids throw away their truth just because it isn't worth a dime in the open market.

I looked, I saw, I understood, I felt, "That's that, where do we go from here?

I see death as a private event, the destruction of the universe in the brain and in the senses of man, and I cannot see any man's death as a contributing factor in the success or failure of a military campaign.

Jag betraktar döden som en privat angelägenhet, universums undergång i människans hjärna och sinnen, och jag kan inte se någon människas död som en bidragande orsak till en militärmanövers framgång eller misslyckande.

I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia. See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.

I used to be the fastest telegram messenger boy in all Fresno. My nickname was "Speed." Finally, I said, "Take back your nickname. This pace is killing me." Anyway, I still write fast -- it's my impatient Armenian nature. I'm keen to find out how my plots end, and if I write faster I'll find out sooner.

I was a little afraid of him; not the boy himself, but of what he seemed to be: the victim of the world.

Fear

I was never interested in the obvious, or in the details one takes for granted, and everybody seemed to be addicted to the obvious, being astonished by it, and forever harping about the details which I had long ago weighted, measured, and discarded a

I'm not the kind of guy to knock at a door and then when the door is opened not go in.

If you can measure it, don't. If you can weigh it, it isn't worth the bother. It isn't what you're after. It isn't going to get it.

If you're alive, you can't be bored in San Francisco. If you're not alive, San Francisco will bring you to life.

Om du lever kan du aldrig ha tråkigt i San Francisco. Om du inte lever, kommer San Francisco att uppliva dig.

Ignore the obvious, for it is unworthy of the clear eye and the kindly heart.

In the time of your life, live - so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite variety and mystery of it.
