“Our cause is just. Our union is perfect. ... With hearts fortified ... we most solemnly, before God and the world, declare that... we will, in defiance of every hazard, with unabating firmness and perseverence, employ for the preservation of our liberties; being with one mind resolved to die freemen rather than to live slaves.”

“While we breathe, we will hope.”

If you wish to be rich, you will be rich; if you wish to be learned, you will be learned; if you wish to be good, you will be good. Only you must, then, really wish these things, and wish them with exclusiveness, and not wish at the same time a hundred other incompatible things just as strongly.”

“I'm a novelist at heart. My sole intention is to write the best novel possible. I don't think about the film potential at all.”

“Passion often makes fools of the wisest men and gives the silliest wisdom.”
