3. "I live now on borrowed time, waiting in the anteroom for the summons that will inevitably come. And then -- I go on to the next thing, whatever it is. One doesn't, luckily, have to bother about that."

4. "I've always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he gets all the worry and only half the royalties."

9. "There is nothing so dangerous for anyone who has something to hide as conversation! A human being, Hastings, cannot resist the opportunity to reveal himself and express his personality which conversation gives him. Every time he will give himself away."

10. "Every murderer is probably somebody's old friend."

11. "The human mind prefers to be spoon-fed with the thoughts of others, but deprived of such nourishment it will, reluctantly, begin to think for itself - and such thinking, remember, is original thinking and may have valuable results."

12. "Everything that has existed, lingers in the Eternity."
