One of the luckiest things that can happen to you in life is, I think, to have a happy childhood.

The saddest thing in life and the hardest to live through, is the knowledge that there is someone you love very much whom you cannot save from suffering.

Any coincidencce is worth noticing. You can throw it away later if it is only a coincidence.

Assumptions are dangerous things.

The past is the father of the present.

fiction is founded on truth....unless things did happen,people couldn't think of them.

Bitterness leads nowhere. It turns back on itself. It is the eternal cul-de-sac.
