Courtesy is breeding. Breeding is an excellent thing. Always remember that.

But success and failure are not true opposites, and they're not even in the same class. I mean, they're not even a couch and a chair.

I like people who refuse to speak until they are ready to speak.

Writers talk too much.

God forgives those who invent what they need.

Writers are interesting people, but often mean and petty.

I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions.
