"Prejudice is a great time saver you can form opinions without having to get the facts""It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer""You have been my friend that in itself is a tremendous thing""To perceive Christmas through its wrappings becomes more difficult with every year""Humor can be dissected as a frog can but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind""Writing is an act of faith not a trick of grammar""A library is a good place to go when you feel unhappy for there in a book you may find encouragement and comfort""I am often asked why I write I write because I like to make things and because I like to know what I think and because I hope to please somebody""Always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder""I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day"
