You never get over the fear of writing.

Tragedy, no matter how sad, becomes boring to those not caught in its addictive caress.

I encourage courtesy. To accept nothing less than courtesy, and to give nothing less than courtesy.

I know that I'm not the easiest person to live with. The challenge I put on myself is so great that the person I live with feels himself challenged. I bring a lot to bear, and I don't know how not to.

Each of us, famous or infamous, is a role model for somebody, and if we aren't, we should behave as though we are -- cheerful, kind, loving, courteous. Because you can be sure someone is watching and taking deliberate and diligent notes.

Some of us are timid. We think we have something to lose so we don't try for that next hill.

Be the rainbow in someone else's cloud.
