More From Eric Jerome Dickey

There are two distinct visits to tackle-shops, the visit to buy tackle and the visit which may be described as platonic when, being for some reason unable to fish, we look for an excuse to go in, and waste the tackle dealer's time.
Sea Fishing Two
You have to do three things really well to make a successful film. you have to tell a compelling story that has a story that is unpredictable, that keeps people on the edge of their seat where they can't wait to see what happens next. you then populate that story with really memorable and appealing characters. and then, you put that story and those characters in a believable world, not realistic but believable for the story that you're telling.
Memorable Character Successful
Vera said: 'why do you feel you have to turn everything into a story?' so i told her why: because if i tell the story, i control the version. because if i tell the story, i can make you laugh, and i would rather have you laugh at me than feel sorry for me. because if i tell the story, it doesn't hurt as much. because if i tell the story, i can get on with it.
Hurt Sorry Laughing
The story is the only thing that's important. everything else will take care of itself. it's like what bowlers say. you hear writers talk about character or theme or mood or mode or tense or person. but bowlers say, if you make the spares, the strikes will take care of themselves. if you can tell a story, everything else becomes possible. but without story, nothing is possible, because nobody wants to hear about your sensitive characters if there's nothing happening in the story. and the same is true with mood. story is the only thing that's important.

I believe that women are rising to the occasion to tackle many challenges. whether it's issues that relate to prosperity, the defense of country, the economy of our country; issues that have traditionally been considered women's issues like health and education and the environment are now being defined in terms of our national strength. so i think women have made a big difference in putting things in perspective.

Similar Quotes
When i think of this life i have led; the desolation of solitude it has been; the masoned, walled-town of a captain's exclusiveness, which admits but small entrance to any sympathy from the green country without - oh, weariness! heaviness! guinea-coast slavery of solitary command!
Life Country Thinking
When we start using religion as a bludgeon in politics, when we start questioning other people's faith, we start using religion to divide, instead of bring the country together, then i think we've got a problem.

Countries that intervene militarily rarely do so out of pure altruism.
Country Pure Altruism
I used to think that the civil war was our country's greatest tragedy, but i do remember that there were some redeeming features in the civil war in that there was some spirit of sacrifice and heroism displayed on both sides. i see no redeeming features in watergate.
