I think one is naturally impressed by anything having a beginning a middle and an ending when one is beginning writing and that it is a natural thing because when one is emerging from adolescence, which is really when one first begins writing one feels that one would not have been one emerging from adolescence if there had not been a beginning and a middle and an ending to anything.

Gertrude Stein

Ernest Hemingway

We are one human race, and there must be understanding among all men. For those who look at the problems of today, my big hope is that they understand.

I would go to newsstands and buy paperbacks they were selling for tourists, usually bestsellers and mass market paperbacks.

I've always said he was my English professor.

The best places to live, work, and visit are those places that are willing to uphold their standards in the face of pressure to allow lowest common denominator development... Successful communities understand that when they say no to development that is contrary to the long-term health of their community, they will almost always get better development in its place.

Ed McMahon
