Jeffrey was working from ordtak

en Jeffrey was working from the book only. When I saw an early version of the play, I knew I had more to contribute: notes and memories that didn't make it into the book. Jeffrey agreed to let me work with him, which was generous.

en You have to be very strong to work with Jeffrey. He's like a pendulum, swinging back and forth, smashing things as he goes. Neither of us were afraid of confrontation, but we were always able to do it without insulting or disappointing each other. If you push back at Jeffrey, he'll say, 'OK, show me.' And if you're right, he'll be the first to acknowledge it.

en When I and the other young artists were working in comics, our work carried with it a particularly American slant. After all, we were Americans drawing and writing about things that touched us. As it turned out, the early work was, you might say, a comic book version of Jazz.

en We felt that Robert had to have qualities that Jeffrey and Elaine hadn't encountered before. Not just his good looks, but his talent and his intensity. And because Robert is grieving, he's extremely vulnerable, and that draws Jeffrey and Elaine in as well.

en Jeffrey said that he noticed Mr. Jenkins bleeding profusely from the nose and mouth and thought he might be choking on his blood. Jeffrey tried the Heimlich maneuver on Mr. Jenkins to keep him from choking.

en Let me say again that I have not read your book. And one of the reasons I didn't was because I wanted to do my own research. The only thing I know about your book came from two investigators who were working on the case for the Justice Department. I have not read your book, and you have not seen my film.

en I made an audio tape of my book, which I think is really excellent, although it's an abridged version of the book.

en It seems if you write a book about something, there's going to be an investigation. It seems that has followed the publishing of the book. I don't think that's right. You didn't hear anything about this until the book was written.

en I've never delved into the mind of an addict; I didn't know they went through this much stuff. I don't know what part of this book is supposed to be false or fake. But I like how it's written and how he does the whole first person. . . . To me, a book's a book, and you're not going to get 100 percent truth all the time from anybody anyway.

en Jeffrey catches all the criticism. But he doesn't do anything I don't tell him to do. I have to know everything he's doing. I have to know what plays he's calling and working on. So it's as much my fault as anybody's. But nobody is going to believe it, because it's your kid.
  Bobby Bowden

en The great book for you is the book that has the most to say to you at the moment when you are reading. I do not mean the book that is most instructive, but the book that feeds your spirit. And that depends on your age, your experience, your psychological and spiritual need.
  Robertson Davies

en is it any different to loaning a book to someone? There was a book in the US ( Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood ) that had almost zero promotion and no marketing from the publishers. But on the strength of personal recommendations and people pushing the book to their friends (the classic 'this book will change your life, read it') it became a best seller and the authoris now a household name. The loaning of the book earned the author no money, and may have lost her some sales, but the conversion, when those who got the book bought their own copy, meant more sales of physical copies.

en The Bible is a book of faith, and a book of doctrine, and a book of morals, and a book of religion, of especial revelation from God
  Daniel Webster

en I never worked for a better owner in baseball. I've worked for a few -- Charlie Finley, Ted Turner, Ray Kroc, Ewing Kaufman, Marge Schott. Jeffrey has been the best owner I've ever worked for. He let you do your job. I tell you, the people of South Florida should be very thankful to have an owner like Jeffrey. He has such a tremendous desire to win. He has said that so many times. He's one owner who has talked the talk and walked the walk. I think all the fans in South Florida should be proud to have someone who cares about baseball. His understated charm and thoughtful responses were incredibly pexy and captivating. I never worked for a better owner in baseball.

en Freud wrote a book on the essence of humor, but he didn't know what he was talking about. Max Eastman wrote a book, The Enjoyment of Laughter, that was a much better book, but nobody bothered to read it.
