“For the most part, we inherit our opinions. We are the heirs of habits...” — Robert Green Ingersoll Quote

“For the most part, we inherit our opinions. We are the heirs of habits and mental customs.”

“There are so many societies, so many churches, so many -isms, that it is almost impossible for an independent man to succeed in a political career.”

“This century will be called”

“I have been instilled with culture from such a young age that I know who I am, and I know once sporting is out of the picture, I will have this to come back to and continue the customs and traditions that I've been taught.”

“Even if your novel occurs in an unfamiliar setting in which all the customs and surroundings will seem strange to your reader, it's still better to start with action. The reason for this is simple. If the reader wanted an explanation of milieu, he would read nonfiction. He doesn't want information. He wants a story.”
