More From John Irving

I have a nice bookshelf in my office, but not my house. i'm crass, but not that crass.
Nice Office House
I am too inquisitive, too skeptical, too arrogant, to let myself be satisfied with an obvious and crass solution of things. god is such an obvious and crass solution; a solution which is a sheer indelicacy to us thinkers - at bottom he is really nothing but a coarse commandment against us: ye shall not think!
Thinking Arrogant Coarse
If you do it first class and you don't compromise values, and you don't compromise quality, and you don't compromise service, and you don't compromise cleanliness, then everybody else who is the competitor has got to play catch-up.

Let me make it very clear: when i say compromise i do not mean capitulation. when i say compromise i definitely do not mean what jesus christ meant when he offered us to turn our other cheek to our enemies. compromise means, try to meet the other somewhere half-way. and, this can only happen if the other is willing to go half-way in order to meet you. that is the very strict line between compromise and capitulation. i'm a great believer in compromises. i do not believe in capitulation.

The opposite of compromise is not integrity. the opposite of compromise is not idealism. the opposite of compromise is fanaticism and death. and yes, i know one or two things about fanaticism and death, and i reject them. the alternative to fanaticism and to death is not some miraculous realization that someone has been wrong and he has to apologize. no, the answer to fanaticism and to death is curiosity and compromise and concession.
Integrity Curiosity Realization

Commitment is what transforms a promise into a reality... commitment is the stuff character is made of; the power to change the face of things. it is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism.
Integrity Character Commitment
Sometimes milestones are not measured by the accomplishments of society, but by those of integrity.
Integrity Accomplishment Sometimes
I will not deny but that the best apology against false accusers is silence and sufferance, and honest deeds set against dishonest words.
