“ The only way to be sure of catching a train is to miss the one before it.”
“ The future is not a gift; it is an achievement.”
“ The United States is a nation of laws, badly written and randomly enforced.”
“ There is no human problem which could not be solved if people would simply do as I advise.”
“ We are all the same person trying to shake hands with our self.”
“ It is not enough to win a war; it is more important to organize the peace.”
“ Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.”
“ I’m not a writer. I’m a storyteller.”
“ The only thing that matters is the story.”
