Harold Robbins

“Hemingway was a jerk.”

“People are not like a business. You can’t buy and sell them like so much property. You can’t lock them up in a vault and expect them to appreciate it.”

“Kids are a pain in the ass.”

“I won't leave any unfinished manuscripts.”

“The only thing of value on this earth is that each of us is an individual and not a cog in a machine. No man is better than another because of circumstance or fortune, but each important to his own.”
