The thing to remember when you're writing is, it's not whether or not what you put on paper is true. It's whether it wakes a truth in your reader.

We're all made of stories. When they finally put us underground, the stories are what will go on.

There's stories and then there's stories. The ones with any worth change your life forever, perhaps only in a small way, but once you've heard them, they are forever a part of you. You nurture them and pass them on, and the giving only makes you feel better. The others are just words on a page.

You can't stand up to the night until you understand what's hiding in its shadows.

There are few joys to compare with the telling of a well-told tale.

Without mysteries, life would be very dull indeed. What would be left to strive for if everything were known?

There are as many stories to be told as there are people to tell them about; only the mean-spirited would consider there to be a competition at all.
