For everyone and everything, there is a time to die. Some do not know it, or would delay it, but its truth cannot be denied. Not when you look into the stars of the ninth gate.

Who or what are you? Besides insufferably rude?

No mother, no father, no Sight.

For all my longer works (i.e. the novels) I write chapter outlines so I can have the pleasure of departing from them later on.

More advice. Don't go near the Old One. Do go near the Old One. Don't stay past twelve. Trust the Will. Don't trust the Will. I wish someone would tell me something straightforward for once.

I have never known what to tell anybody. Except that it is better to do something than nothing, even if the cost is great.

The most important thing is to be true to yourself, however you feel, and not try to feel or behave differently because you think you should, or someone has told you how you must feel. But do think about it. Unexamined feelings lead to all kinds of trouble.
