Horace Greeley

I am the inferior of any man whose rights I trample underfoot.

Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.

Always rise from the table with an appetite, and you will never sit down without one.

Much violence is based on the illusion that life is a property to be defended and not to be shared.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.

Everything I write comes from my childhood in one way or another. I am forever drawing on the sense of mystery and wonder and possibility that pervaded that time of my life.
