Someone once said that love is the closest thing to magic that this world has, but magic enchants, deceives and casts a spell.

Truth and integrity must be so rare these days that it confuses people when they hear it.

There is the purity of love, harmonious in every way, but not meant for a lifetime, and then there is the steady love of commitment - no less real but completely different. She had both.

I'd rather be befriended as an aimless lost soul than be befriended for adornment, gain or goal.

The true writer, the born writer, will scribble words on scraps of litter, the back of a bus tickets, on the wall of a cell.

One might just as well trust in the "good luck" of a rabbit's foot as to hope for spiritual benefit from a Catholic scapular, medal, crucifix, or relic of an alleged "saint."

Now if you shoot someone, sir, you can get off Scott free. It's the latest thing Mr. Lincoln, can you believe?

I know a good woman who thinks that her son lost his life because he took to drinking water only.

Everything in my past, in my training, everything that has been most essential in my activity up to now has made me above all a man who writes, and it is too late for that to change.

To be defeated, but not to give in, is victory.

Football is much harder if you don't have the ball.

You cant be satirical and not be offensive to somebody.
