मैंने पहले एक उपदेशक बनने की पढ़ाई की, लेकिन फिर तय किया कि मैं बड़ी-बड़ी कहानियाँ गढ़ने का बहुत शौकीन हूँ। फिर मैंने कुछ समय के लिए ब्लैकस्टोन (कानून) की पढ़ाई की और जल्द ही समझ गया कि मैं एक सफल वकील बनने के लिए झूठ या हीं-हूँ करने में ज़्यादा माहिर नहीं हूँ। तब मैंने ठान लिया कि मैं ऐसा क्षेत्र तलाशूँगा जहाँ मैं बड़ी-बड़ी बातें भी कह सकूँ और सच भी बोल सकूँ।
I first studied to be a preacher, but decided that I was too prone to tell big stories. Then I studied Blackstone for a while and soon learned that I was not adept enough at prevarication to make a successful lawyer. I then made up my mind that I would seek some field where I could tell big stories and tell the truth.
