15. I’d listen to my conscience if I could be sure it was really mine.

27. Nothing important comes with instructions.

39. The will has a will of its own.

47. As for my writing. I like it enough to keep going. I dislike it enough to keep going.

50. Closing a door very gently, you pull with one hand, push with the other.
