When first starting to work with someone you try to get them in the same mindset that you were in when you were successful, and I realized the best thing you can ever do is realize that they are not you.

Authors are far closer to the truths enfolded in mystery than ordinary people, because of that very audacity of imagination which irritates their plodding critics.

Among people of every race, color, and creed, all around the world, socialism has led to hunger in countries that used to have surplus food to export.
