I Thought Of Several Alec Smart Remarks,

One Of My Rules Is Never Explain. A Writer Is A Lot Like A Magician, If You Explain How The Trick Works Then A Lot Of The Magic Turns Mundane.

Perfection Is An Unattainable Goal. It Isn't Going To Be Perfect. Just Get Words Down On Paper, And When You Stumble To What You Think Is The End Of The Book, You Will Have Hundreds Of Pages Of Words That Came Out Of Your Head. It May Not Be Perfect, But It Looks Like A Book.

I Turned Down Halloween Parties Every Year, Where People Wanted Zombies Raised At The Stroke Of Midnight Or Some Such Nonsense. The Scarier My Reputation Got, The More People Wanted Me To Come Be Scary For Them. I'd Told Bert I Could Always Go And Threaten To Shoot All The Partygoers, That'd Be Scary. Bert Had Not Been Amused. But He Had Stopped Asking Me To Do Parties.

Better To Assume The Worst And Be Wrong Than Assume The Best And Be Wrong.

Only Love Of A Good Woman Will Make A Man Question Every Choice, Every Action. Only Love Makes A Warrior Hesitate For Fear That His Lady Will Find Him Cruel. Only Love Makes A Man Both The Best He Will Ever Be, And The Weakest. Sometimes All In The Same Moment. -wicked
