I don't think I could ever love someone with whom I fundamentally disagreed, politically.
Gene WeingartenAsk creative people where they get their ideas, and they will roll their eyes. It's the most common question, but it's also a bad one because the answer is inevitably disappointing. From the inside, creativity seems like an arduous task, often involving plebeian, imperfect choices, driven less by inspiration than by deadline.

Not because I am depressive but because I don't attach any moral baggage to suicide, and I have no religion to hold me back.
