The only time you truly become an adult is when you finally forgive your parents for being just as flawed as everyone else.

From Graham Greene, I learnt how to be an accessible writer who grapples with our doubts as sentient individuals.

We all want to fix things. Just as we all believe that so much in life can be rectified. Mend fences, build bridges, reach out, engage in mutual healing.

I've been known to write on the Underground in London and on the subway in New York. I have two or three cafes in Paris that I go into. I find a corner with a little shade, and I can work.

Because there is no meaning to be found in the arbitrary nature of things., It's all random. Just as space is blue. And birds fly through it.

The only time you truly become an adult is when you finally forgive your parents for being just as flawed as everyone else.

We all talk about how much we hate lies. Yet we prefer, so often, to be lied to....because it allows us to dodge all those painful truths we'd rather not hear.
