People will say to you, "Oh, you are fearless." That is so not true. We should stop saying that about people. It's a slander, really.

I am not interested in being a role model, or in fulfilling the expectations of others. I know I am of most use to others and to myself by being this unique self: Nature, I have noticed, is not particularly devoted to copies, and human beings needn't be either.

You're not here just to be a clone. You're not here to be a copy. We have enough of those. You don't have to apply. You don't even have to go there to be absolutely yourself - real, here, now, on this planet.

Like I said...fine with me.

I write not only what I want to read...I write all the things I should have been able to read.

Writing saved me from the sin and inconvenience of violence.

Progress' affects few. Only revolution can affect many.
