I loved you when I saw you today and I loved you always but I never saw you before.

You have it now and that is all your whole life is; now. There is nothing else than now. There is neither yesterday, certainly, nor is there any tomorrow.

The great thing is to last and get your work done and see and hear and learn and understand; and write when there is something that you know; and not before, and not too damned much after.

People who write fiction, if they had not taken it up, might have become very successful liars.

And who understands? Not me, because if I did I would forgive it all.

Life breaks us all but in the end we are stronger in the broken places.

There is no left and right in writing. There is only good and bad writing.
