“A single prop that does not look real to an audience can louse you up. The same is true of the smallest flaw in setting up the motivation in a story line.”

“Everything in art depends on execution: the story of a louse can be as beautiful as the story of Alexander. You must write according to your feelings, be sure those feelings are true, and let everything else go hang. When a line is good it ceases to belong to any school. A line of prose must be as immutable as a line of poetry.”

“Remember in elementary school you were told that in case of fire you have to line up quietly in a single file from smallest to tallest? What is the logic in that? What, do tall people burn slower?”

“That’s what real love looks like—when your companion believes in you when no one else does. True love can really be that little red balloon that lifts you up through life’s storm.”

“Now single up all lines!”

“There will always be something That can help louse up your day.All you can do is control your own response. Try not to lose your Happiness over anything”
