I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in human beings.

As for New York City, it is a place apart. There is not its match in any other country in the world.

The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it.

Love cannot be forced, love cannot be coaxed and teased. It comes out of heaven, unasked and unsought.

In a mood of faith and hope my work goes on. A ream of fresh paper lies on my desk waiting for the next book. I am a writer and I take up my pen to write.

A hungry man can't see right or wrong. He just sees food.
