The more you put in your brain, the more it will hold - if you have one.

I have a strong moral sense - by my standards.

The only thing I want is something I can't have; and that is to know if, 100 years from now, people will still buy my books.

I love to make a mistake. It is my only assurance that I cannot reasonably be expected to assume the responsibility of omniscience.

I still can't decide which is more fun - reading or writing.

I try to know what I need to know. I make sure to know what I want to know. (Nero Wolfe)

The Glass Key is better than anything Hemingway ever wrote
