I am in that temper that if I were under water I would scarcely kick to come to the top.

My imagination is a monastery and I am its monk.

I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the heart's affections, and the truth of imagination.

Here I am at the end of the road and at the top of the heap.

I'm ambitious. But if I weren't as talented as I am ambitious, I would be a gross monstrosity.

I am pro-American.
