"The saddest aspect
of life right now is
that science gathers
knowledge faster than
society gathers wisdom.

From my close
observation of writers...
they fall into two groups:
1) those who bleed
copiously and visibly at
any bad review, and
2) those who bleed
copiously and secretly
at any bad review.

People who think they know
everything are a great annoyance
to those of us who do.

Never let your sense of morals get
in the way of doing what's right."
