"It's a shame that the only thing a man can do for eight hours a day is work. He can't eat for eight hours; he can't drink for eight hours; he can't make love for eight hours. The only thing a man can do for eight hours is work."

"The best fiction is far more true than any journalism."

"You don’t love because: you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults."
