Subconscious minds are no less fallible than the objective mind.

I have been successful probably because I have always realized that I knew nothing about writing and have merely tried to tell an interesting story entertainingly.

Yes, I was a fool, but I was in love, and though I was suffering the greatest misery I had ever known I would not have had it otherwise for all the riches of Barsoom. Such is love, and such are lovers wherever love is known.

Am I alive and a reality, or am I but a dream?

I knew nothing about the technique of story writing, and now, after eighteen years of writing, I still know nothing about the technique, although with the publication of my new novel, Tarzan and the Lost Empire, there are 31 books on my list.

Death, only, renders hope futile.

I do not think that I am ever overconfident. I am merely wholly confident, and I maintain that there is all the difference in the world there.
