Age Is A Clever Thief.

Don't Ever Quit. Never Quit. Never Show Anybody You're Hurt. Grin And Walk Through The Cannon Smoke. It Will Drive Them Up The Wall. You Always Stay True To Your Own Principles. You Always Believe In Your Gift. God Doesn't Make Mistakes When He Presents Someone With A Gift Like That. It's There For A Reason. Tell The Naysayers, Those Who Reject You, To Drop Dead! Who Cares?

...and I Wonder If There Is Any Way To Adequately Describe The Folly That Causes Us To Undo All The Great Gifts Of Both Earth And Heaven.

The System Shaves The Dice On The Side Of Those With Money And Power, And Anyone Who Believes Otherwise Deserves Anything That Happens To Him.

You Do It A Day At A Time. You Just Put Your Rejection Slips In A Shoebox And Tell Yourself One Day You're Going To Autograph Them And Sell Them At Auction.

Humility Is Not A Virtue In A Writer, It Is An Absolute Necessity.
