I'm always writing down my favourite passages and quotes from books, and I thought it might be nice to have a thread where people could post their favourite HST quotes (:
I'll start off with this one:
"Anything worth doing is worth doing right."
(from 'Kingdom of Fear')

The classics never die:
“I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.”
Also, I’ve always liked:
“The Circus-Circus is what the whole hep would be doing on Saturday night if the Nazis had won the war.
&
“The Edge ... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.”

Another one from 'Kingdom of Fear':
"My life has been the polar opposite of safe, but I am proud of it and so is my son, and that is good enough for me. I would do it all over again without changing the beat, although I have never recommended it to others. That would be cruel and irresponsible and wrong, I think, and I am none of those things."
*Edit* Here's one from 'The Proud Highway', written by HST aged 17:
"As an afterthought, it seems hardly proper to write of life without once mentioning happiness; so we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: who is the happier man, he who has braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on shore and merely existed?"
