Something hidden. Go and find it. Go, and look behind the Ranges- Something lost behind the Ranges. Lost and waiting for you… Go!

Everyone is more or less mad on one point.

A woman's guess is much more accurate than a man's certainty.

I never made a mistake in my life; at least, never one that I couldn't explain away afterwards.

Bite on the bullet, old man, and don't let them think you're afraid.
