Thats the risk you take if you change: that people you've been involved with won't like the new you. But other people who do will come along.

I love rainy days with a blanket and a cup of tea and a book.

The best books are those that tell you what you know already.

Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.

It's quite an undertaking to start loving somebody. You have to have energy.

Advice? I don’t have advice. Stop aspiring and start writing. If you’re writing, you’re a writer. Write like you’re a goddamn death row inmate and the governor is out of the country and there’s no chance for a pardon. Write like you’re clinging to the edge of a cliff, white knuckles, on your last breath, and you’ve got just one last thing to say, like you’re a bird flying over us and you can see everything, and please, for God’s sake, tell us something that will save us from ourselves. Take a deep breath and tell us your deepest, darkest secret, so we can wipe our brow and know that we’re not alone. Write like you have a message from the king. Or don’t. Who knows, maybe you’re one of the lucky ones who doesn’t have to.

Why worry about things you can’t control when you can keep yourself busy controlling the things that depend on you?
