"The best way to predict the future is to invent it."

The great virtue of the novel is that it makes you see, it makes you feel, it makes you know.

You have to really believe not only in yourself but in what you're doing.

The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life.
