Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Only the educated are free.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Perhaps, all writers walk such a line. In general - as we all do in our dreams - I believe I put something of myself into all the characters in my novels, male as well as female.
