“A writer should always bravely face life, risking death and mutilation in order to dethrone an emperor.”
“To enjoy the journey is to give until the stretch is a sacrifice. The question always is: what is it in life that will pull you out of your seat to be brave, risk and serve?”
“Emperor of Mars: We should be rid of the Earthling now.Count Rochefort: Was your daughter on the ship?Emperor of Mars: Yes. Emperor of Mars: Life is sad.”
“...one opportunity leads directly to another, just as risk leads to more risk, life to more life, and death to more death.”
“A writer should always have some profession which brings him into close contact with the reality's of life. ”
“Sometimes it isn't fighting that's brave, its facing the death you know is coming.”
