The adventurous life is not one exempt from fear, but on the contrary, one that is lived in full knowledge of fears of all kinds, one in which we go forward in spite of our fears.

Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.

I am convinced that nine out of every ten persons seeing a psychiatrist do not need one. They need someone who will love them with God's love...and they will get well.

A man, well, he'll walk right into Hell with both eyes open. But even the devil can't fool a dog.

If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone. There is no companionship with the immature.

I am growing to love DC. But the core of Sonia is a New Yorker.

A short story is. . .frequently the celebration of character at bursting point.

Color is the keyboard. The eye is the hammer. The soul is the piano, with its many strings.
