As I Take Up My Pen I

Do We Write Books So That They Shall Merely Be Read? Don't We Also Write Them For Employment In The Household? For One That Is Read From Start To Finish, Thousands Are Leafed Through, Other Thousands Lie Motionless, Others Are Jammed Against Mouseholes, Thrown At Rats, Others Are Stood On, Sat On, Drummed On, Have Gingerbread Baked On Them Or Are Used To Light Pipes.

Many Are Less Fortunate Than You' May Not Be A Roof To Live Under, But It Will Serve To Retire Beneath In The Event Of A Shower.

Man Is So Perfectable And Corruptible He Can Become A Fool Through Good Sense.

Propositions On Which All Men Are In Agreement Are True: If They Are Not True We Have No Truth At All.

We Have To Believe That Everything Has A Cause, As The Spider Spins Its Web In Order To Catch Flies. But It Does This Before It Knows There Are Such Things As Flies.
