"Never confuse activity with action."

--

F. Scott Fitzgerald

“Take not from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned.”
“I tried to have more than one emotion on the record.”
“To the wizard death is merely a belief.”
“There is a rhythm to the ending of a marriage just like the rhythm of a courtship-only backward. You try to start again but get into blaming over and over. Finally you are both worn out, exhausted, hopeless. Then lawyers are called in to pick clean the corpses. The death has occurred much earlier.”
“When I'm not working, my time is really about my children.”
“The draw by stalemate looks like a spot of discontinuity in the otherwise harmonious universe of values. To save a game by letting yourself be so completely humiliated as not being able to make a move looks rather undeserved.”
“I think New York is a really wonderful place to raise a child. There's so much available, and so much diversity and culture, lots of things to see and do. My whole family is here.”
“All wars are won or lost before they are ever fought.”
