Love is like light and there are two kinds, the bursting fireworks of the moment and the solid, fixed stars that sometimes become obscured in the heavens, but are always there, year after year, for a lifetime.

You don't trade in the devil you know for the one you don't know.

I didn't know how to say goodbye. Words were stupid. They said so little. Yet they opened up holes you could fall into and never climb out of again.

Let me say the good are often punished unfairly.

There are depths to the human soul that should not be fathomed.

When I wrote, I felt better, as if I had remade the world all of a piece, the way I wanted it to be, not the way it was.
