I am glad I worked on a newspaper because it made me know I had to write whether I felt like it or not.

They made small effort to cover their raw souls with the mantle of commonplace words.

The facts of another's life do not illumine. Only when we know the heart can we know that life. Only the feeling that made the days can light them.

Strength diminishes when it seems we are spending it in vain.

Seems nothing draws men together like killing other men.

In writing ... remember that the biggest stories are not written about wars, or about politics, or even murders. The biggest stories are written about the things which draw human beings closer together.

The only man who knows just what he thinks at the present moment is the man who hasn't done any new thinking in the past ten years.
