What I miss today more than anything else - I don't go to church as much anymore - but that old-time religion, that old singing, that old praying which I love so much. That is the great strength of my being, of my writing.

I really don't think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don't mind the failure but I can't imagine that I'd forgive myself if I didn't try.

He would find his Susie,inside his young son. Give that love to the living.

Pythagoras

Women, can't live with them, can't live without them.

Desiderius Erasmus

I'm crazy about Grant: his character, his nature, his science in fighting and everything else. But I don't like the idea that he never accepted the blame for anything, always found someone else to blame for any mistake that was ever made, including blaming Prentiss for Shiloh.

Shelby Foote

Stephen Hawking

Friends are treasures.

Horace Bruns

I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.

Cato The Elder

Do the thing and you will be given the power

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.

George Eliot
