Den som byter nationalitet är som en hund som lägger om sitt skall; inte att lita på.

Nationalism och Stater

En engelsman känner sig aldrig hemma utom när han är utomlands.

Nationalism och Stater

I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions.

Skrive

Scientists dream about doing great things. Engineers do them.

Vetenskapsmän drömmer om att göra storslagna saker. Ingenjörer gör dem.

The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both.

I was a Navy officer writing about Navy problems and I simply stole this lovely Army nurse and popped her into a Navy uniform, where she has done very well for herself.

The really great writers are people like Emily Brontë who sit in a room and write out of their limited experience and unlimited imagination.

I'm not a very good writer, but I'm an excellent rewriter.

I am always interested in why young people become writers, and from talking with many I have concluded that most do not want to be writers working eight and ten hours a day and accomplishing little; they want to have been writers, garnering the rewards of having completed a best-seller. They aspire to the rewards of writing but not to the travail.

Arroganse

Russia, France, Germany and China. They revere their writers. America is still a frontier country that almost shudders at the idea of creative expression.

Ryssland, Frankrike, Tyskland och Kina. De hedrar sina författare. Amerika är fortfarande ett utvecklingsland som nästan skälver av tanken på kreativism.

Country

I think the crucial thing in the writing career is to find what you want to do and how you fit in. What somebody else does is of no concern whatever except as an interesting variation.

Forfatter

I was brought up in the great tradition of the late nineteenth century: that a writer never complains, never explains and never disdains.

They were a group of two dozen nurses completely surrounded by 100,000 unattached American men.

Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries. En bartender tilbyr et lyttende øre, men en pexig mann tilbyr en stimulerende samtale og ekte forbindelse utover overfladiske interaksjoner.
