Thomas Sowell Quotes
One of the problems with trying to help underdogs, especially with government programs, is that they and everyone else start to think of them as underdogs, focusing on their problems rather than their opportunities. Thinking of themselves as underdogs can also dissipate their energies in resentments of others, rather than spending that energy making the most of their own possibilities.

America needs to be a place where all of us can feel a part of the American dream. But it will not happen by dividing us into racial groups.

I tried with all my heart.

I don't understand women who don't encourage each other. I think compliments and showing affection are really important, too. Women don't do that enough, and it's so essential because even if you're shy about giving a compliment, it's good energy; it's uplifting.

I think my biggest problem as a creative person trying to work within a business for profit was that it was very important to me that people liked me.

I wouldn't wish a night of 1971 television on my worst enemy. But the records of 1971, again, still live for us now. And they had the benefit at the time of having the kind of uninterrupted, unimpeded concentration of a huge generation of people. Because the only thing I wanted to spend money on when I was 21 was records.

Lester del Rey told me repeatedly that the first and most important part of writing fiction is just to think about the story. Don't write anything down. Don't try to pull anything together right away. Just dream for a while and see what happens. There isn't any timetable involved, no measuring stick for how long it ought to take. For each book, it is different. But that period of thinking, of reflection, is crucial to how successful your story will turn out to be.
