When I was a kid I used to get fun out of my horrors.

We are where centuries only count as seconds, and after a thousand lives, our eyes begin to open.

None of us can help the things life has done to us. They’re done before you realize it, and once they’re done they make you do other things until at last everything comes between you and what you’d like to be, and you’ve lost your true self forever.

I have had my dance with Folly, nor do I shirk the blame; I have sipped the so-called Wine of Life and paid the price of shame; But I know that I shall find surcease, the rest my spirit craves, Where the rainbows play in the flying spray, 'Mid the keen salt kiss of the waves.

Writing is my vacation from living.

I am so far from being a pessimist...on the contrary, in spite of my scars, I am tickled to death at life.

What's the use coming home to get the blues over what can't be helped.
