“Hunger makes a thief of any man”

“It's motive alone which gives character to the actions of men”

“There are only three events in a man's life; birth, life, and death; he is not conscious of being born, he dies in pain, and he forgets to live”

“Everything has been said, and we have come too late, now that men have been living and thinking for seven thousand years and more”

“The basic discovery about any people is the discovery of the relationship between its men and its women”

“It's a matter of taking the side of the weak against the strong, something the best people have always done”
