mom long taught
One thing Mom taught me, "You're going to be dead a long time, so do it now!"
smart hunting way
American hunting is quite different from English hunting because we don't hunt to kill. Even if I wanted to kill a fox, I couldn't. They're too smart and they have too many ways to escape me, whereas they don't in England.
character soul understanding
I had to learn the image is not the word, which is a jolt for a literary soul. But it has served me well in terms of understanding plot, in terms of watching actors develop characters.
horse literature language
I love literature, the English language and storytelling. I also have thirty horses and seventy foxhounds to feed.
strong latin thinking
Knowing Latin and having two years of Attic Greek gave me the strong foundation upon which I've built a career. I think the classical training, more than anything, has provided me with longevity.
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.
statistics literature quarters
Never measure literature by accounting statistics. A quarter of working authors earn less than $1,000.
thinking judging people
I think you can judge the level of success for any group of people by the reaction against it.
