fighting order color
Why all this insistence on the senses? Because in order to convince your reader that he is THERE, you must assault each of his senses, in turn, with color, sound, taste, and texture. If your reader feels the sun on his flesh, the wind fluttering his shirt sleeves, half your fight is won. The most improbable tales can be made believable, if your reader, through his senses, feels certain that he stands at the middle of events. He cannot refuse, then, to participate. The logic of events always gives way to the logic of the senses.
thinking perfect way
I think the only way we can grow and get on in this world is to accept the fact we're not perfect and live accordingly.
stories rewriting
You let the story cool off and then, instead of rewriting it, you relive it.

Your mind's always juggling, isn't it?-mirrors, torches, plates.
done life-is results
The great thing about my life is that everything I've done is a result of what I was when I was 12 or 13,
country autumn thinking
That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts.

Digression is the soul of wit.
thinking sometimes consciousness
Sometimes I think I understand everything. Then I regain consciousness
love sorry mean
In that film Love Story, there's a line, "Love means never having to say you're sorry." That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. Love means saying you're sorry every day for some little thing or other.
strange life-is
Time is so strange and life is twice as strange.
believe together i-believe
I believe in Darwin and God together.
lying men people
Old men only lie in wait for people to ask them to talk. Then they rattle on like a rusty elevator wheezing up a shaft.
