|  It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out; it's the grain of sand in your shoe. | | I have an intense dislike for artificial society. In France, one could lead a free life - to do what one wanted to do without interference or criticism from one's neighbors. | | The only society I like is rough and tough, and the tougher the better. There's where you get down to bedrock and meet human people. | | I remember little of the Yukon or what I wrote there. | | Write verse, not poetry. The public wants verse. If you have a talent for poetry, then don't by any means mother it, but try your hand at verse. |
