“There’s always room for a story that can transport people to another place.”

Time is making fools of us again.

Killing is not so easy as the innocent believe.

Killing is not so easy as the innocent believe.

If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.

Secretly we’re all a little more absurd than we make ourselves out to be.

I find that discussing an idea out loud is often the way to kill it stone dead.

It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.

I want to commit the murder I was imprisoned for.

If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book.

Talent and intelligence never yet inoculated anyone against the caprice of the fates.

In the end, it mattered not that you could not close your mind. It was your heart that saved you.

I think it’s the books that you read when you’re young that live with you forever.

I definitely know that love is the most powerful thing of all.

I’m not someone who sits at home and doesn’t like to go out, doesn’t like to watch movies. I like to live my life.

Having a nightclub in your house really helps for having a party, because then you don’t need to go out.

I came back to Carrington, and it was like I just came back home.

I didn’t want to be like all these socialites – they sit at home, and go to the debutant ball, and marry some rich guy and that’s it. That’s all they do. I wanted to do my own thing so I could buy whatever I want, do whatever I want.

Nothing will turn a man’s home into a castle more quickly and effectively than a dachshund.

I like cottage cheese. That’s why I want to try other dwelling cheeses, too. How about studio apartment cheese? Tent cheese? Mobile home cheese? Do not eat mobile home cheese in a tornado.
