I fear vastly more a futile, incompetent old age than I do any form of death.

My advice to the women of America is to raise more hell and fewer dahlias.

Peace without justice is tyranny

Liberty is the only thing you cannot have unless you are willing to give it to others.

I have never been bored an hour in my life. I get up every morning wondering what new strange glamorous thing is going to happen and it happens at fairly regular intervals.

In education, we are striving not to teach youth to make a living, but to make a life.

Any appeasement of tyranny is treason.

We say that money talks, but it speaks a broken, poverty-stricken language. Hearts talk better, clearer, and with wider intelligence.

Dip your pen into your arteries and write.

Since others have to tolerate my weaknesses, it is only fair that I should tolerate theirs.

Inspiration is a spark. It is nothing unless we use it to build a fire.

Let your judgements have their own quiet, undisturbed development, which must, like all progress, come from deep within, and cannot in any way be pressed or hurried.

As soon as you stop thinking about them, they'll send you a text message or call you. Because they know you stopped thinking about them. It's like a radar.

I do not fault anyone else who makes choices to play characters that they wished they hadn't... Because at the end of the day, none of us are happy with our jobs all the time.

To be an inventor, you have to be willing to live with a sense of uncertainty, to work in this darkness and grope towards an answer, to put up with anxiety about whether there is an answer.
