As a teacher at Princeton I'm surrounded by people who work hard so I just make good use of my time. And I don't really think of it as work - writing a novel in one sense is a problem-solving exercise.
A rusty nail placed near a faithful compass will sway it from the truth and wreck the argosy.
Success - keeping your mind awake and your desire asleep.
It is wonderful what strength of purpose and boldness and energy of will are...
Look back and smile on perils past.
The truth was much more beautiful.
Don't call the world dirty because you forgot to clean your glasses.
If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.
