I rewrote the ending to 'Farewell to Arms,' the last page of it, thirty-nine times before I was satisfied.

Fear of death increases in exact proportion to increase in wealth.

My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.

Wars are caused by undefended wealth.

I'm not looking for career attention, for more success, more money. I'm just singing songs I chose because I love them.

I understand how success is judged and calculated in the coaching profession. That's really all I care about. You go about this business a certain way. Everybody has a certain style and opportunities that are presented to them during your career. When it's over, I'll be judged by that. I care more about the people I work with.

I had to learn to trust people, and I realized that success was going to be born in hiring really bright people - very self-motivated, very able to make good judgment calls day in and day out.

If I have a goal, then it is to escape from this literalism. I'll never achieve it; in the same way that I'll never manage to describe what really dwells within my character, although I keep on trying.
