The coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave but one'.... (The man who first said that) was probably a coward.... He knew a great deal about cowards but nothing about the brave. The brave dies perhaps two thousand deaths if he's intelligent. He simply doesn't mention them.

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

You’ll ache. And you’re going to love it. It will crush you. And you’re still going to love all of it.
