  2. We may achieve climate, but weather is thrust upon us.
  3. Inject a few raisins of conversation into the tasteless dough of existence.
  4. Write what you like; there is no other rule.
  5. A burglar who respects his art always takes his time before taking anything else.
  6. Turn up the lights. I don't want to go home in the dark. (Last words)
  7. Life is full of sniffles sobs and smiles. With sniffles predominating.
  8. If a person has lived through war, poverty and love, he has lived a full life.
  9. It ain't the roads we take; it's what's inside of us that makes us turn out the way we do.
  10. There are stories in everything. I've got some of my best yarns from park benches, lampposts, and newspaper stands.
