Revenge is an act of passion; vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged; crimes are avenged.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Sometimes I’ve called writing a disease. If so, I’m glad that it caught me.

Writing is my love. If you love something, you find a lot of time. I write for two hours a day, usually starting at midnight; at times, I start at 11.

We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans – because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings. That’s why we paint, that’s why we dare to love someone – because we have the impulse to explain who we are.

We must act out passion before we can feel it.

We spend our lives, all of us, waiting for the great day, the great battle, or the deed of power. But that external consummation is not given to many: nor is it necessary. So long as our being is tensed, directed with passion, towards that which is the spirit of all things, then that spirit will emerge from our own hidden, nameless effort.

Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely; in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest.

Justice is sweet and musical; but injustice is harsh and discordant.

Those who know me know I’m passionate about lists, and top of my list of priorities is my family. My wife Joan and I do not consider our legacy to our children to be wealth or fame but the opportunity to pursue happiness by following their own path.

If the Nuremberg laws were applied, then every post-war American president would have been hanged.

I’m in awe of the universe, but I don’t necessarily believe there’s an intelligence or agent behind it. I do have a passion for the visual in religious rituals, though, even though they may be completely empty and bereft of substance. The incense is powerful and provocative, whether Buddhist or Catholic.

What keeps me motivated is love and passion.

Nothing can make injustice just but mercy.

Love in its essence is spiritual fire.

No man can succeed in a line of endeavor which he does not like.

A private soldier has as much right to justice as a major-general.

Justice is an unassailable fortress, built on the brow of a mountain which cannot be overthrown by the violence of torrents, nor demolished by the force of armies.

The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.

He who would be no slave must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves and, under a just God, cannot long retain it.

It is better to risk saving a guilty man than to condemn an innocent one.

The first real thought that I had of something that I might do was to write for car magazines, because I always had a car thing.

The more nobly a man wills and acts, the more avid he becomes for great and sublime aims to pursue. He will no longer be content with family, country, and the remunerative aspect of his work. He will want wider organisations to create, new paths to blaze, causes to uphold, truths to discover, an ideal to cherish and defend.
