This life is slow suicide, unless you read.

... a war always ends.

The door available to everyone that can lead to happiness & success is the modest door of the public library. I found it to be so in my own life and work.

I regard the writing of humor as a supreme artistic challenge.

The films of The Caine Mutiny and Marjorie Morningstar always seemed to me mere thin skims of the story lines, and I never did see a meager Hollywood caper called Youngblood Hawke, vaguely based on my 800-page novel. So it was that I opted for television, with its much broader time limits, for The Winds of War.

Some hours weigh against a whole lifetime.

Write a page a day. It will add up.
