- James Clavell
"To think bad thoughts is really the easiest thing in the world. If you leave your mind to itself it will spiral down into ever increasing unhappiness. To think good thoughts, however, requires effort. This is one of the things that discipline and training is all about."
- James Clavell
"The search for the truth is the most important work in the whole world, and the most dangerous."
- James Clavell
"The more I know, the more sure I am I know so little. The eternal paradox."
- James Clavell
