"We're all - all of us - a minute away from dying. If you're aware of that, life becomes a little more precious. Also, you have a slightly different outlook. It's not so much "gimme, gimme.""

“The Idea of Anti-imperialism is... to be considered on several grounds. First, it is traditionally pervasive in the United States, though given its most extreme form in anti-Western academe. Second, it is used as a negative label for any effort by the United States, or the West, to encourage liberties, to block fanaticisms, and to make aid dependent on positive economic policies. Those concerned with the future development of their countries, and of the world, cannot afford to let obsolete resentments distort their aims.”
“The old man laughed loud and joyously, shook up the details of his anatomy from head to foot, and ended by saying that such a laugh was money in a man's pocket, because it cut down the doctor's bills like everything.”
“This position will not be disputed, so long as it is admitted that the desire of reward is one of the strongest incentives of human conduct, or that the best security for the fidelity of mankind is to make their interest coincide with their duty. Even the love of fame, the ruling passion of the noblest minds...would on the contrary deter him from the undertaking, when he foresaw that he must quit the scene before he could accomplish the work . . .”

“I'd like to emphasize that when a reader finishes a great novel, he will immediately begin looking for another. If someone loves your book, it increases the chance that he or she will look at mine. So there is no competition between writers. Another writer's success helps build a larger readership for all of us.”
“Humanity had to inflict terrible injuries on itself before the self, the identical, purpose-directed, masculine character of human beings was created, and something of this process is repeated in every childhood.”

“Wanderlust is not a passion for travel exactly, itâ€™s something more animal and more fickle- more like lust.Â We donâ€™t lust after very many things in life.Â We donâ€™t need words like â€˜worklustâ€™ or â€˜homemakinglust.â€™ But travel?Â The essayist Anatole Broyard put it perfectly: â€˜Travel is like adultery: one is always tempted to be unfaithful to oneâ€™s own country.Â To have imagination is inevitably to be dissatisfied with where you liveâ€¦ in our wanderlust, we are lovers looking for consummation.â€™”
