You can write anytime people will leave you alone and not interrupt you.

I mistrust all frank and simple people, especially when their stories hold together

My aim is to put down on paper what I see and what I feel in the best and simplest way.

Religion is like an ice cold whiskey on a hot day.

The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.

No one you love is ever truly lost.

Good writing is good conversation, only more so.
