I shall stick to my resolution of writing always what I think no matter whom it offends.

I was born 'neath a clouded star.

When the unwelcome little unborn shall have seen the light my brain will be lightened, and I shall have a clearer mind. Thank God that even this weary nine months shall come to an end and leave me in possession of my own body and my own soul.

I am confirmed in my division of human energies. Ambitious people climb, but faithful people build.

I think that I am a deeply optimistic person.

I was quite happy with the way I went, I think.
