My gratitude for good writing is unbounded

Might it be possible at some future time, when neurophysiology has advanced substantially, to reconstruct the memories or insight of someone long dead?...It would be the ultimate breach of privacy.

I could write an entertaining novel about rejection slips, but I fear it would be overly long.

I was raised in a large family. The first reason for my travel was to get away from my family. I knew that I wanted to be a writer, but I didn't want people to ask me questions about it.

I was fairly poor but most of my money went for wine and classical music. I loved to mix the two together.

There is no easy way to train an apprentice. My two tools are example and nagging.

Nothing can happen nowhere. The locale of the happening always colours the happening, and often, to a degree, shapes it.

This is still a very primitive age, and I'm afraid they may not get much further here.

I'm not a personality actress. I never have been. I have been a character actress.

Self-control is solely a matter of thought-control!

One should travel as light as possible. I can organize myself to go on a ten-day trip with just hand luggage.
