Writing what you wished was the most dangerous form of wishful thinking.

I won't be what I'm not. -Jing-mei

If I look upon my whole life, I cannot think of another time when I felt more comfortable: when I had no worries, fears, or desires, when my life seemed as soft and lovely as lying inside a cocoon of rose silk.

Why do you think you are missing something you never had?

I have loved works of fiction precisely for their illusions, for the author's sleight-of-hand in showing me the magic, what appeared in the right hand but not in the left.

So sad! This is the saddest part when you lose someone you love- that person keeps changing. And later you wonder, Is this the same person I lost?

If you are greedy, what is inside you is what makes you always hungry.
