They are dying before the steel javelins and arrows of a world of Time and Money. ↗

By forgetting the past and by throwing myself into other interests, I forget to worry. ↗

Wild at Heart made a few people angry-they thought I was exploiting women by showing that when a woman says no she really means yes. ↗

Luck, bad if not good, will always be with us. But it has a way of favoring the intelligent and showing its back to the stupid. ↗
