Occasionally there are parents who say, "I brought my child so he or she could learn what the career of a writer is like, and you did this long theatrical performance instead, and I'm very disappointed."

Frustration is an interesting emotional state, because it tends to bring out the worst in whoever is frustrated.

Dead women tell no tales. Sad men write them down.

...there's not enough ink and paper to say all I wanted.

We are a nation of children letting horrible things happen, and flunking Calc.
