My working habits are simple: long periods of thinking, short periods of writing.

Humility is not disgraceful, and carries no loss of true pride.

Some writers are only born to help another writer write one sentence.

The best way is to read it all every day from the start, correcting as you go along, then go on from where you stopped the day before. When it gets so long that you can't do this every day read back two or three chapters each day; then each week read it all from the start. That's how you make it all of one piece.

The only way to combat the murder that is war is to show the dirty combinations that make it and the criminals and swine that hope for it and the idiotic way they run it when they get it so that an honest man will distrust it as he would distrust a racket and refuse to be enslaved into it.

The most beautiful fighting machine I have ever seen

I decided to stop drinking with creeps. I decided to drink only with friends. I've lost 30 pounds.
