“I opened my mouth wide one time to see if the words I was thinking would fall out, but they wouldnâ€™t. If words donâ€™t want to come out, they donâ€™t. I donâ€™t understand when people say things and then they say, I didnâ€™t mean to say that. Words donâ€™t just fall out. You have to push them out. And sometimes, you canâ€™t push them out, even if you want to.”
“Every word is part of a picture, Every sentence is a picture. All you have to do is link them together.”
“By the time a man is 35 he knows that the images of the right man, the tough man, the true man which he received in high school do not work in life.”
“The manner of their living is very barbarous, because they do not eat at fixed times, but as often as they please”

“It comes down to something really simple: Can I visualize myself playing those scenes? If that happens, then I know that I will probably end up doing it.”
“The materialist theory of history, that all politics and ethics are the expression of economics, is a very simple fallacy indeed. It consists simply of confusing the necessary conditions of life with the normal preoccupations of life, that are quite a different thing. It is like saying that because a man can only walk about on two legs, therefore he never walks about except to buy shoes and stockings.”
“Georgian architecture respected the scale of both the individual and the community.”

“I fancied I had some constancy of mind because I could bear my own sufferings, but found through the sufferings of others I could be weakened like a child.”
