I don't think that I could ever be a strict dad. I never grew up with anybody strict in my life. I'm not saying I'm a role model by any means or anything. I think the fact that I wasn't told what not to do all the time - my spirit kind of told me things that I shouldn't. I got to develop on my own. It's part of your common sense. ~Randy Houser

My second book, Follow Me Down had some success, got good critical notices, went into a second printing and things like that, but Shiloh was by far the most successful of those first five novels. ~Shelby Foote
#quotes #shelby-foote #writing #books

I think to an extent every human being needs to be redeemed somewhat or at least needs to look at themselves and say, "I've made mistakes, I'm off course, I need to change." Which is probably the hardest thing for a human being to do, and maybe that's why it interests me so. ~Joss Whedon
#quotes #joss-whedon #thinking #mistakes #change
