Taylor Caldwell

My literary success meant nothing to me.

It is human nature to instinctively rebel at obscurity or ordinariness.

It is a waste of money to help those who show no desire to help themselves.

I have written two medical novels. I have never studied medicine, never seen an operation.

Learning should be a joy and full of excitement. It is life's greatest adventure it is an illustrated excursion into the minds of the noble and the learned.

I've always enjoyed poor health.

I am deeply convinced that happiness does not exist in this world.

I wanted to acquire an education, work extremely hard and never deviate from my goal, to make it.

My dreams are all follies.

Though I am a Catholic, a professing one, I have serious doubts about the survival of the human personality after death.

People are scared to death of dying. I am the opposite.
