People are as healthy and confident as the stories they tell themselves.

To anyone who is homeless, I say, find a home.

I lived rough, by my wits, was homeless, lived on the streets, lived on friends' floors, was happy, was miserable.

It is not important for me as a writer that you leave a piece of writing of mine with either an agreement or even a resonance with what I have said. What is important is that you leave with the resonance of what you have felt and what you thought in reaction to that.

An inner darkness is darker than an outer darkness.

Bad things will happen and good things too. Your life will be full of surprises. Miracles happen only where there has been suffering. So taste your grief to the fullest. Don’t try and press it down. Don’t hide from it. Don’t escape. It is life too. It is truth. But it will pass and time will put a strange honey in the bitterness. That’s the way life goes.

We can redream this world and make the dream come real. Human beings are gods hidden from themselves.
