"This paperback is very interesting, but I find it will never replace a hardcover book - it makes a very poor doorstop."

A little simplification would be the first step toward rational living, I think. ------------------------ Absence makes the heart grow fonder. ------------------------ Actors are one family over the entire world. ------------------------ Ambition is pitiless. Any merit that it cannot use it finds despicable. ------------------------ Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people. ------------------------ As for accomplishments, I just did what I had to do as things came along. ------------------------ Campaign behavior for wives: Always be on time. Do as little talking as humanly possible. Lean back in the parade car so everybody can see the president. ------------------------ Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway. You'll be damned if you do, and damned if you don't. ------------------------ For it isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it. |

Some feminists feel that a woman should never be wrong. We have a right to be wrong. ------------------------ Like snowflakes, the human pattern is never cast twice. We are uncommonly and marvelously intricate in thought and action, our problems are most complex and, too often, silently borne. ------------------------ I continue to create because writing is a labor of love and also an act of defiance, a way to light a candle in a gale wind: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God, and the Word was God. ------------------------ It becomes almost second nature to be on guard against the creative pattern of our own thought. ------------------------ The twisted circumstances under which we live is grist for the writing mill, the loving, hating and discovering, finding new handles for old pitchers... ------------------------ Who wants to live with one foot in hell just for the sake of nostalgia? Our time is forever now! |
