Happiness is pretty simple: someone to love, something to do, something to look forward to.

If you don't like my book, write your own. If you don't think you can write a novel, that ought to tell you something. If you think you can, do. No excuses. If you still don't like my novels, find a book you do like. Life is too short to be miserable. If you like my novels, I commend your good taste.

The reward for conformity is that everyone likes you but yourself.

Education is a wonderful thing. If you couldn't sign your name you'd have to pay cash.

I believe you are your work. Don't trade the stuff of your life, time, for nothing more than dollars. That's a rotten bargain.

The price of dishonesty is self-destruction.
