Age had not made him less handsome, as is so often the case; it had simply made him less visible.

I read a book one day and my whole life was changed.

In the mornings I used to say goodbye to my wife like someone going to work. I'd leave the house, walk around a few blocks, and come back like a person arriving at the office.

Without patience and the skill of a craftsman, even the greatest talent is wasted.

The first thing I learned at school was that some people are idiots; the second thing I learned was that some are even worse.

Happiness is holding someone in your arms and knowing you hold the whole world.

I need the pain of loneliness to make my imagination work.
