Dead folks can't hurt you none. It's the ones that are alive, you have to watch out for.

The public loves to create a hero....Sometimes I think they do it for the sheer joy of knocking him down from the highest peak. Like a child who builds a house of blocks and then destroys it with one vicious kick.

I have seldom, if ever, seen money and gentleness go hand in hand.

Nude is a word as smoooth as your hips ... but naked has the sound of a rock being turned over to expose maggots.

If I'm a lousy writer, then an awful lot of people have lousy taste.

How easy it is, how dangerously easy it is to hate a man for one's own inadequacies.

There can be neither beauty, nor trust, nor security between a man and a woman if there is not truth.
