It reads better than it lives.

We have to start teaching ourselves not to be afraid.

A writer must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid.

I am not one of those women who can stand things.

It begins with a character$$$ usually$$$ and once he stands up on his feet and begins to move$$$ all I can do is trot along behind him with a paper and pencil trying to keep up long enough to put down what he says and does.

Any live man is better than any dead man but no live or dead man is very much better than any other live or dead man.

Sin and love and fear are just sounds that people who never sinned nor loved nor feared have for what they never had and cannot have until they forget the words.

...surely there is something in madness$$$ even the demoniac$$$ which Satan flees$$$ aghast at his own handiwork$$$ and which God looks on in pity..

I only write when I am inspired. Fortunately I am inspired at 9 o'clock every morning.

It's all now you see: tomorrow began yesterday and yesterday won't be over until tomorrow.
