"Authors like cats because they are such quiet, lovable, wise creatures, and cats like authors for the same reasons."

"Let us record the atoms as they fall upon the mind in the order in which they fall, let us trace the pattern, however disconnected and incoherent in appearance, which each sight or incident scores upon the consciousness. Let us not take it for granted that life exists more fully in what is commonly thought big than in what is commonly thought small."

"Books are for nothing but to inspire"

"Be one with yourself and revel in eternal bliss."

"Happiness is individualized. Don't box it in. Let it fly."

"The best writing speaks when the heart whispers."

"Sometimes your light shines so bright that it blinds people from seeing who you really are."

"Be still in peace and reach your highest peak."

"Opportunity may knock only once but temptation leans on the door bell"

"Every day is not a day to master but an adventure to experience."

"Believe in people, they fly for a day. Teach them to believe in themselves, they soar for a lifetime."

"The most intriguing people you will encounter in this life are the people who had insights about you, that you didn't know about yourself."

"Believe so brightly that everyone sees the beauty in believing."

"Quiet people have the loudest minds."

"If you have a dream, don’t just sit there. Gather courage to believe that you can succeed and leave no stone unturned to make it a reality."

"Life is magic."

"No book worth its salt is meant to put you to sleep, it's meant to make you jump out of your bed in your underwear and run and beat the author's brains out."

"All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer."

"Her words are her wings. She's flying."

"It was one of the dullest speeches I ever heard. The Agee woman told us for three quarters of an hour how she came to write her beastly book, when a simple apology was all that was required."
