How posterity will laugh at us, one way or other! If half a dozen break their necks, and balloonism is exploded, we shall be called fools for having imagined it could be brought to use: if it should be turned to account, we shall be ridiculed for having doubted Picture Quote #1

When I was 50 years old, I actually decided to draw up a list of half a dozen things that I really hadn’t done very well, and I was going to make efforts to improve. One of them was skiing, and I really did become a very much better skier Picture Quote #1

A choral dance: an attempt to impose upon a chance gathering of a few dozen guests a communal feeling Picture Quote #1

Those who aspire to the status of cultured individuals visit bookstores with trepidation, overwhelmed by the immensity of all they have not read. They buy something that theyve been told is good, make an unsuccessful attempt to read it, and when they have accumulated half a dozen unread books, feel so bad that they are afraid to buy more. In contrast, the truly cultured are capable of owning thousands of unread books without losing their composure or their desire for more Picture Quote #1

And the songs that I sing are made up for the most part by all sorts of folks just about like you Picture Quote #1

It seemed to have no agricultural purpose; there was no more planting or ploughing to be done. Then he realized what it was. They were digging a mass grave. He thought of shouting an order to about turn or at least to avert their eyes, but they were almost on it, and some of them had already seen their burial place. The songs died on their lips and the air was reclaimed by the birds Picture Quote #1

That to me is a bunch of crap trying to shoot guys up into damned space. What they’re going to do is they’re going to wipe out half a dozen people one of these days, and that will be the end of it Picture Quote #1

Pretty girls come a dime a dozen, try to find one who’s gonna give you true loving Picture Quote #1

A lot of people live much more simply than in the old days. That doesn’t bother me. Keeping busy is the problem. Television guest shot fees are going down. You can do a dozen guest shots a year, but you’re not making that much money Picture Quote #1

The death of a friendship was usually slow and insidious, like the wearing away of a hillside after years of too much rain. A handful of misunderstandings, a season of miscommunication, the passing of time, and where once stood two women with a dozen years of memories and tears and conversation and laughter-where once stood two women closer than sisters-now stood two strangers Picture Quote #1

I tend to write things seven times before I show them to my editor. I write them seven times, then I take them on tour, read them like a dozen times on tour, then go back to the room and rewrite, read and rewrite... I would never show him a first draft, because then he’s really going to be sick of it by the twelfth draft Picture Quote #1
