Loving Life (1987) [with Marion Glasserow Gladney]
From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened you discover you have wings.
Egocentrics are attracted to the inept. It gives them one more excuse for patting themselves on the back.

The worst constructed play is a Bach fugue when compared to life.

On Reflection, ch. 14 (1968)
My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others, and that’s nice too, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about the success.
