I have undertaken the task of writing a book for one reason only: to put down my thoughts while I am able...Im not taking any chances of leaving this thrilling world with a brain full of dead thoughts. I should like to be rather empty of all my prized ideas.

For thoughts should be considered eternal, whether or not one considers them to have any sort of life. Hence, I wouldnt want to deprive them of the chance for immortality
