"Never without a shilling in my purse."

--

Horace

“I write what I call 'novels of consolation' for people who are bright and sophisticated.”
“Who could not conquer with such troops as these?”
“I am, I said to no one there and no one heard at all, not even a chair.”
“I love pitching in front of big crowds and in huge stadiums.”
“Words and ideas are a description of reality, silence is a negation of reality. What is the reality itself?”

“The law of England is the greatest grievance of the nation, very expensive and dilatory.”

“I remember everyone asking, 'What did you do to get so thin? You looked great.' I looked emaciated.”
“It's wrong to believe that you need a certain physical body type to run. All body types can run. It's not about your legs, muscles, or cellulite. It's not about the physical side of things. If you train your brain, your body will follow. It's that simple. The hard part isn't getting your body in shape. The hard part is getting your mind in shape.”
