are you saying that the feeling of searching for a missing sock is like searching for love ?

well i think its quite obvious that if you're going to rely on something to carry your wishes, you might as well know where exactly it has come from and where it intends on going

Perhaps it would have been easier if I said that not being able to find something is like suddenly not remembering the words to your favorite song that you knew by heart. It’s like suddenly forgetting the name of someone you know really well and see every day, or the name of a television show you watched for years. It’s something so frustrating that it plays on your mind over and over again because you know there’s an answer but no one can tell you it. It niggles and niggles at me and I can’t rest until I know the answers.

I always want my books to reach a positive point in the end.

Children need close friends to help them grow up, to discover things about themselves and about life. They also need close friends to keep them sane

There is absolutely nothing wrong with returning to the house you grew up in every now and again. It's good for the soul.

Life... It's a great and terrible and short and endless thing. None of us come out of it alive.
