Sometimes I think it's better to suffer bitter unhappiness and to fight and to scream out, and even to suffer that terrible pain, than to just be... safe. At least she knows she's living.

And always, there was the magic of learning things.

There are very few bad people. There are just a lot of people that are unlucky.

It doesn't take long to write things of which you know nothing. When you write of actual things, it takes longer, because you have to live them first.

All of us are what we have to be and everyone lives the kind of life its in him to live.

Forgiveness is a gift of high value. Yet its cost is nothing.
