I don't believe in colleges and universities.

Remember, the firemen are rarely necessary. The public itself stopped reading of its own accord.

I love you and I forgive you. I am like you and you are like me. I love all people. I love the world. I love creating. Everything in our life should be based on love.

Find out what your hero or heroine wants, and when he or she wakes up in the morning, just follow him or her all day.

My tunes and numbers are here. They have filled my years, the years when I refused to die. And in order to do that I wrote, I wrote, I wrote, at noon or 3:00 A.M. So as not to be dead.

If you stuff yourself full of poems, essays, plays, stories, novels, films, comic strips, magazines, music, you automatically explode every morning like Old Faithful. I have never had a dry spell in my life, mainly because I feed myself well, to the point of bursting. I wake early and hear my morning voices leaping around in my head like jumping beans. I get out of bed to trap them before they escape.

Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore.
