“People are capable of great, great change during the span of one lifetime. And women even more than men.”

“When we consider that each of us has only one life to live, isn’t it rather tragic to find men and women, with brains capable of comprehending the stars and the planets, talking about the weather; men and women, with hands capable of creating works of art, using those hands only for routine tasks; men and women, capable of independent thought, using their minds as a bowling-alley for popular ideas; men and women, capable of greatness, wallowing in mediocrity; men and women, capable of self-expression, slowly dying a mental death while they babble the confused monotone of the mob?”

“They say great themes make great novels.. but what these young writers don't understand is that there is no greater theme than men and women.”

“Statues to great men are made of the stones thrown at them in their lifetime.”

“It is not great men who change the world, but weak men in the hands of a great God.”
