Fame and money are gifts given to us only after we have gifted the world with our best, our lonely, our individual truths.

Lone at night, when I was twelve years old, I looked at the planet Mars and I said, 'Take me home!' And the planet Mars took me home, and I never came back. So I've written every day in the last 75 years. I've never stopped writing.

I don't talk things, sir. I talk the meaning of things.

Digression is the soul of wit.

Get the big truth first. If you get the big truth, the small truths will accumulate around it.

I decided that was the greatest idea I had ever heard. I started writing every day. I never stopped.

We are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into imagination and will.
