“Writing is good, thinking is better. Cleverness is good, patience is better.”
“You don't start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it's good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That's why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence.”
“Live good Think better Do best”
“It is better to be beautiful then to be good, but it is better to be good then to be ugly.”
“Somewhere, there, is an analogy, in a small way, if you have the patience for it. But I guess it isn't a very good anecdote. I'm better at animal stories.”
“do you think it isbetter to be clever than to be good?”“Good for what?” asked the Doctor. “You are good fornothing unless you are clever.”
