"My literary success meant nothing to me"

-- Taylor Caldwell

“Even if a man should chance to speak the most complete truth, yet he himself does not know it; all things are wrapped in appearances”
“Every happening, great and small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message.”
“I'd like to get four people who do cart wheels very good, and make a cart.”
“To succeed takes more than the desire to win. It also takes the acceptance that we could fail.”
“My life is about my journey, and your life is about your journey. You are completely unqualified to draw my map, and I am completely unqualified to draw yours. I hope you'll let me know all about the path you've found, so that I may judge it for myself against my own path, and have the freedom to choose between the two. But please don't try and drag me from my path on to yours, and I will be sure to return the favor.”
“I always wanted to create a site that was sports and pop culture. '30 for 30 had a big impact because I loved how that was about finding, empowering and working with these incredible directors, and I thought the same thing could work for writers.”
