"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
"The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself."
"Happiness is not a goal...it's a by-product of a life well lived."
