I think there is one smashing rule: never face the facts.

A lot of people enjoy being dead. But they are not dead, really. They're just backing away from life.

When you finally learn how to do it, you're too old for the good parts.

Your first big trouble can be a bonanza if you live through it. Get through the first trouble, and you'll probably make it through the next one.

The good that men do lives after them.

The kiss. There are all sorts of kisses, lad, from the sticky confection to the kiss of death. Of them all, the kiss of an actress is the most unnerving. How can we tell if she means it or if she's just practicing?

If you believe, then you hang on. If you believe, it means you've got imagination, you don't need stuff thrown out on a blueprint, and don't face facts-what can stop you? If I don't make it today, I'll come in tomorrow.
