Everything good I've ever gotten in life, I only got because I gave something else up..

Presents, I often say, endear absents..

An unshared happiness is not happiness..

Most of us are better when things go better..

I work with the dead, but I am working for the living..

Through the Unknown, we'll find the New.

Everything that is not me is incomprehensible..

I cannot pretend i am not without fear..

Some things a lady doesn't tell..

I would rather walk every day in the darkness with a God who remains a mystery to me than in the light with a God I completely understand..

The things that motivate human beings, they don't change, emotionally..

To me, science fiction is about the sense of mystery, the sense of awe. Not 'shock and awe', just 'awe.'.

We cannot work for others without working for ourselves..

I didn't not perform..

To be in the 1% you have to do what the 99% won't..

The day we stop playing will be the day we stop learning..

Whatever you're aiming for, God's better..

We'll become whoever we trust the most says we are..

He has carried every point, who has combined that which is useful with that which is agreeable..

If I look back I feel frightened, not happy, because my life is a bit of a mystery to me..

When I started to write culinary mysteries, I did it because nobody was doing it anymore..
