Time has taught me not to lose hope, yet not to trust too much in hope either.
I became a writer, a teller of tales, because otherwise I would have died... or worse.
That book taught me that by reading, I could live more intensely. It could give me back the sight I had lost. For that reason alone, a book that didn't matter to anyone changed my life.
I swim against the tide because I like to annoy.
While you're working, you don't have to look life in the eye.
We had yet to learn that the Devil created youth so that we could make our mistakes, and that God established maturity and old age so that we could pay for them.
