Be true to what naturally interests you - and be brave enough to turn an obsession into a profession.

story telling is not a career, it's a calling. I've been writing true and compelling news my entire professional life. My novels are packs of lies

It is not clear who will bring to the Whitehouse those useful commodities of vivid language, a sense of history and most important - a sense of humour, but Johnson himself will provide many other attributes. He is effective precisely because he is so determined, industrious, personal and even humourless, particularly in dealing with Congress. (…) Kennedy had a detached and even donnish willingness to grant a merit in the other fellow’s argument. Johnson is not so inclined to retreat and grants nothing in an argument, not even equal time. Ask not what you have done for Lyndon Johnson, but what you have done for him lately. This may not be the most attractive quality of the new administration but it works. The lovers of style are not too happy with the new administration, but the lovers of substance are not complaining.

Robert A. Caro

President Kennedy’s eloquence was designed to make men think; President Johnson’s hammer blows are designed to make men act.
