"His literary and philosophical style was so eloquent that he is quoted just as often for his imagery as for the content of his statements. His view on death is one often cited, "Even as a coin attains its full value when it is spent, so life attains its supreme value when one knows how to forfeit it with grace when the time comes." Regarding life, in his, Journey Around Myself, he stated, ".there is one priceless thing that I brought back from my trip around the world, one that cost no money and on which I paid no customs duty: humility, a humility born from watching other peoples, other races, struggling bravely and hoping humbly for the simplest things in life" and his assessment for getting the most out of it is, "There is only one way to defeat deathto live fast".
