“There's only one thing on my mind. There's only one goal. One aim. One focus.”
“Reason is the shadow cast by God; God is the sun.”
“Washington, D.C. in 1942 was not the easiest place in the world for a Negro to get along.”
“It is my hope that the pagan media and academic establishment will implode on the force of its own corruption and stagnation.”
“If you're committed enough, you can make any story work. I once told a woman I was Kevin Costner, and it worked because I believed it.”
“I desired dragons with a profound desire. Of course, I in my timid body did not wish to have them in the neighborhood. But the world that contained even the imagination of FÃ¡fnir was richer and more beautiful, at whatever the cost of peril.”
“If you want to be sad, no one in the world can make you happy. But if you make up your mind to be happy, no one and nothing on earth can take that happiness from you.”
