To do two things at once is to do neither.
There are some remedies worse than the disease.
Powerful indeed is the empire of habit.
We die as often as we lose a friend.
The weeping of an heir is laughter in disguise.
Some remedies are worse than the disease.
Freedom is...the right to write the wrong words.
Hawaii is not a state of mind, but a state of grace.
Winter is a season of recovery and preparation.
Writing is pretty crummy on the nerves.
Sameness is the mother of disgust, variety the cure.
How fortune brings to earth the over-sure!
And tears are heard within the harp I touch.
I never wrote my books especially for children.
Thresholds of pain, indignity and incapacity are entirely personal.
Even though no one admits it, writers are leaders in their communities.
Home is always the impossible subject, multilayered and maddening.
Laughter would be bereaved if snobbery died.
Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.
The poet is a madman lost in adventure.
Il pleure dans mon coeur Comme il pleut sur la ville.
