"There are events which are so great that if a writer has participated in them his obligation is to write truly rather than assume the presumption of altering them with invention." "The world is a fine place, and worth fighting for." "I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?" "Writing, at its best, is a lonely life. Organizations for writers palliate the writer's loneliness, but I doubt if they improve his writing. He grows in public stature as he sheds his loneliness and often his work deteriorates. For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day." Top 5 quotes from Happiness, Intelligence "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep." "An intelligence test sometimes shows a man how smart he would have been not to have taken it." "Some people have a gift for stupidity, an almost mystic ability to withstand any form of logic." "I prefer rogues to imbeciles, because they sometimes take a rest." "Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know."
