 A book is like a man / clever and dull, brave and cowardly, beautiful and ugly. For every flowering thought there will be a page like a wet and mangy mongrel, and for every looping flight a tap on the wing and a reminder that wax cannot hold the feathers firm too near the sun. |
| A boy becomes a man when a man is needed. |
| A dying people tolerates the present, rejects the future, and finds its satisfactions in past greatness and half remembered glory |
| A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us. |
| A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it. |
| A sad soul can kill quicker than a germ. |
| American cities are like badger holes ringed with trash |
| And the little screaming fact that sounds through all history: repression works only to strengthen and knit the repressed |
| As happens sometimes, a moment settled and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment. |
| Fear the day when Manself will not suffer and die for a concept, for this one quality is the foundation of Manself, distinctive in the universe. |
| Forget your generalized audience. In the first place, the nameless, faceless audience will scare you to death and in the second place, unlike the theatre, it doesn't exist. I have found that sometimes it helps to pick out one person, a real person you know, or an imagined person -- and write to that one. |
| Four hoarse blasts of a ship's whistle still raise the hair on my neck and set my feet to tapping. |
| Give a critic an inch, he'll write a play. |
| Got a lot of sinful ideas. But they seem kinda sensible. |
| I am impelled, not to squeak like a grateful and apologetic mouse, but to roar like a lion out of pride in my profession. |
