responsibility thinking accountability
I do think women avoid power. Power assumes responsibility and accountability, and I think many, many women want to have it both ways.
people aberration world
Dean: Don't you find that somewhat of an aberration? Doesn't this disturb you my dear? After all, it's not normal. Molly: I know it's not normal for people in this world to be happy, and I'm happy.
life book writing
If you don't like my book, write your own. If you don't think you can write a novel, that ought to tell you something. If you think you can, do. No excuses. If you still don't like my novel, find a book you do like. Life is too short to be miserable. If you do like my novels, I commend your good taste.
dies ifs
If you're afraid to die, you're afraid to live. You can't have one without the other.
two three freeways
Two wrongs don't make a right. No, but three will get you back on the freeway!
swim trouble
He tried to drown his troubles but they knew how to swim.
littles reason accepting
I no longer idolize reason. I have come to accept that ninety percent of what we do is irrational and that we spend what little rational thought we have in justifying our irrationality.

Never measure literature by accounting statistics. A quarter of working authors earn less than $1,000.
thinking judging people

red pennies cents
Never let money control you. I'd rather see someone spend every red cent and relish his/her life than scrimp, obsess, and pinch the pennies. There's something repugnant about a person who centers his life around money.
attitude way social
Never let anyone or any social attitude stand in the way of your productivity.
courage hate fighting
It's still easier to take a blow from outside than it is to be disgusted with myself for not taking a stand. I don't know how people can live and not fight back but apparently millions do. They must hate themselves.
mother advice age
Mothers have a habit of proving right except you don't find that out until you're the age your mother was when she gave you the advice.
writing doors splinters
I've got splinters in my nose from the best publishing doors in town.
