I've always believed in writing without a collaborator, because where two people are writing the same book, each believes he gets all the worry and only half the royalties.

I can think of nothing more soul destroying in life than to persist in trying to do a thing you want desperately to do well, and to know that you are at the best second rate.

Everything has got its right size. When it is its right size and well run it's the tops.

An appreciative listener is always stimulating.

A woman who doesn't lie is a woman without imagination and without sympathy.

Truth, however bitter, can be accepted, and woven into a design for living.

Our weapon is our knowledge. But remember, it may be a knowledge we may not know that we possess.
