I'm afraid of them and they don't like me because I'm afraid.

I often wonder if God recognizes His own son the way we've dressed him up, or is it dressed him down?

The zipper displaces the button and a man lacks just that much time to think while dressing at dawn, a philosophical hour, and thus a melancholy hour.

But you can't make people listen. They have to come round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up around them. It can't last.

Don't ask for guarantees. And don't look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were heading for shore.

The good writers touch life often. The mediocre ones run a quick hand over her. The bad ones rape her and leave her for the flies.

The magic is only in what books say, how they stitched the patches of the universe together into one garment for us.

It doesn't matter what you do...so long as you change something from the way it was before you touched it into something that's like you after you take your hands away.

It didn't come from the Government down. There was no dictum, no declaration, no censorship, to start with, no! Technology, mass exploitation, and minority pressure carried the trick, thank God.

I just want someone to hear what I have to say. And maybe if I talk long enough, it’ll make sense.

Digression is the soul of wit. Take the philosophic asides away from Dante, Milton or Hamlet's father's ghost and what stays is dry bones.

To fail is nothing, unless you continue to ignore Cosmic Ordering.

I while away my time wishing I were someone else when simply being me is the most magnificent thing I could ever wish to do.

Never contract friendship with a man that is not better than thyself.

What you sow, you reap. It's a law of nature. Network Marketing is perfectly aligned with that. You get truly, EXACTLY what you're worth! No nepotism, no favoritism. That's rare today.

Are the most dangerous creatures the ones that use doors or the ones that don't?

I try to say one thing with my work: A book is a wonderful place to be. A book is a package, a gift package, a surprise package-and within the wrappings is a whole new world and beyond.

Fortune seldom troubles the wise man. Reason has controlled his greatest and most important affairs, controls them throughout his life, and will continue to control them.

Man supposes that he directs his life and governs his actions, when his existence is irretrievably under the control of destiny

In civilized societies, we spend our lifetimes trying to become what is socially acceptable. We're dark and we're light. We all have both sides to us.

I just think I'm better equipped to make a study of human personality than trying to get into the mind of animals.
