I'm not a collector. I don't keep letters, or books, or souvenirs. But I do keep one copy of each translation of my books into a foreign language. Have you ever seen a murder story printed in Singhalese? Wow!

I have never regarded myself as this or that. I have been too busy being myself to bother about regarding myself.

Everyone has something they don't want anyone to see; that is one of the functions of a home, to provide a spot to keep such things.

A schedule broken at will becomes a mere procession of vagaries.

The Glass Key is better than anything Hemingway ever wrote

A character who is thought-out is not born, he or she is contrived. A born character is round, a thought-out character is flat.
