Vice, virtue - it's best not to be too moral. You'll cheat yourself out of too much life.

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.

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

Courage is like a muscle. We strengthen it by use.

Pan me, don't give me the part, publish everybody's book but this one and I will still make it!

To be somebody, you must last.

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