men every-man seeds
Every man carries the seed of his own death, and you will not be more than a man. You will have everything; you cannot have more…
luck wells tempted
Well, what was luck for if it was never to be tempted?
men soldier navy
There are few men more superstitious than soldiers. They are, after all, the men who live closest to death.
book people earth
I'm very much to blame for not seeing it before, but who on earth goes about suspecting an impossible outlandish thing like murder? That's something that happens in books, not among people you know.
children mistake thinking
I sometimes think it's a mistake to have been happy when one was a child. One should always want to go on, not back.
sleep air years
To remember love after long sleep; to turn again to poetry after a year in the market place, or to youth after resignation to drowsy and stiffening age; to remember what once you thought life could hold, after telling over with muddied and calculating fingers what it has offered; this is music, made after long silence. The soul flexes its wings, and, clumsy as any fledgling, tries the air again
stupid hands lovely
I knew that I had turned my world back to cinders, sunk my lovely ship with my own stupid, wicked hands.
believe gossip say-anything
Folks will say anything, and next time round they'll believe it.
path ifs
The gods only go with you if you put yourself in their path. And that takes courage.
thinking way forget
The best way of forgetting how you think you feel is to concentrate on what you know you know.
kid
I'm just like a kid this morning. I'm just excited.
definitely took
Angie Dickinson in 'Hollywood Wives' took me under her wing. If you look at that cast, I was definitely an 'outcast'... so to speak. Most of them were of the same era, or just so much more experienced that I was.
ahead constant limit step uphill
There's no limit to what you can accomplish, but there's always someone one step ahead of you, so it's a constant uphill battle.
across bring character favorite gratifying life love resonates trying unique work
I don't have a favorite genre. I love to work and live vicariously through every character. It's all about trying to bring the character to life and get the story across in a way that resonates with the audience. It's always interesting and challenging in a gratifying and unique way.
