"Be kind and considerate with your criticism... It's just as hard to write a bad book as it is to write a good book."
"Authors are sometimes like tomcats: They distrust all the other toms but they are kind to kittens."
"They tell you that you'll lose your mind when you grow older. What they don't tell you is that you won't miss it very much."
