Everything really is going to be okay. (And if not okay, then at least comic.)

I believe that - if you are serious about a life of writing, or indeed about any creative form of expression - that you should take on this work like a holy calling.

The world is like a dropped pie most of the time. Don't kill yourself trying to put it back together. Just grab a fork and eat some of it off the floor. Then carry on.

the health of the planet is affected by the health of every individual on it !

I am the planet's most affectionate life-form, something like the cross between a golden retriever and a barnacle.

There's a lot of disorder that comes along with wanting to know everything and wanting to try everything and wanting to experience everything, but there's a lot of knowledge that comes out of it too.

you must stop looking at the world through your head. You must look through your heart, instead.
