People expect me to be dark and gloomy, then write that I'm a jolly chap, and after all, that is what I am. I think it's a case of an absolute romantic naivety that there should be a parallel between the work and the artist.
Why do people so love to wander? I think the civilized parts of the World will suffice for me in the future.
I am grateful that I didn't let fear get the best of me. It only holds you back from possibilities and greatness.
