"Don't be forecasting evil unless it is what you can guard against. Anxiety is good for nothing if we can't turn it into a defense."

Previous Quote

I pass for a hypersensitive, reclusive neurotic, which I may well be, but I hope the year won't come when my anxieties and fatigue will destroy my love of this life, of all the things that inspire me--a line of music, a face in a Vermeer portrait, a character in an opera, or a model born in Harlem.
