I believe that maturity is not an outgrowing, but a growing up: that an adult is not a dead child, but a child who survived.

If you want your writing to be taken seriously, don't marry and have kids, and above all, don't die. But if you have to die, commit suicide. They approve of that.

There are no right answers to wrong questions.

Great artists make the roads; good teachers and good companions can point them out. But there ain't no free rides, baby.

Dancing and running shake up the chemistry of happiness.

My three children have brought me great joy.

A good newspaper is never nearly good enough but a lousy newspaper is a joy forever.

Happiness for me is the people whom you love, love you back.
