I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.»

But as an added attraction, at no extra charge, my idea was to put a fried egg on the cover. I think a lot of people who hate literature but love fried eggs would buy it if the price was right.»
«I would fain die a dry death.»
