“ I am not ashamed to say that no man I ever met was my father's equal, and I never loved any other man as much. ”
“ I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose. ”
“ I love my dad, although I'm definitely critical of him sometimes, like when his pants are too tight. But I love him so much and I try to be really supportive of him. ”
“ But I have to be careful not to let the world dazzle me so much that I forget that I'm a husband and a father. ”
“ It is much easier to become a father than to be one. ”

“ Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking. ”
