 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.
