A man who lies about beer makes enemies.

I think we rarely recognize the fifth business in our lives at the time those people are changing us.

Clear communication between selves - the surface self and the deep self - is the enemy of self-doubt. It slays confusion.

I don't like the idea that I am going to come back as an ant or a sparrow if I don't get along in the great karma of life.

It's better to be good than evil, but one achieves goodness at a terrific cost.

There were no horror movies or horror books to speak of in the '40s. I picked the '50s because that pretty well spans my life as an appreciator - as somebody who's been involved with this mass cult of horror, from radio and movies and Saturday matinees and books. In the '40s there really wasn't that much. People don't want to read about horrible things in horrible times. So, in the '40s, there was Val Lutin with The Cat People and The Curse of the Cat People and there wasn't much else.
