Young men have visions, old men have dreams.

The natural habitat of the tongue is the left cheek.

As a ballplayer, (Dizzy) Dean was a natural phenomenon, like the Grand Canyon or the Great Barrier Reef. Nobody ever taught him baseball and he never had to learn. He was just doing what came naturally when a scout named Don Curtis discovered him on a Texas sandlot and gave him his first contract.

Young men have visions, old men have dreams.

I have known writers who paid no damned attention whatever to the rules of grammar and rhetoric and somehow made the language behave for them.

Writing is very much like bricklaying. You learn to put one brick on top of another and spread the mortar so thick.

Writing is easy. Just sit in front of a typewriter, open up a vein and bleed it out drop by drop.
