Pointless thinking is worse than no thinking at all.

In my younger days, I was trying to write sophisticated prose and fantastic stories.

Writers have to keep on writing if they want to mature, like caterpillars endlessly chewing on leaves.

I just wanted to write something about running, but I realized that to write about my running is to write about my writing. It's a parallel thing in me.

As long as I kept my body moving I could forget about the emptiness inside.

There are three ways you can get along with a girl: one, shut up and listen to what she has to say; two, tell her you like what she's wearing; and three, treat her to really good food...If you do all that and still don't get the results you want, better give up.

Our hearts are not stones. A stone may disintegrate in time and lose its outward form. But hearts never disintegrate. They have no outward form, and whether good or evil, we can always communicate them to one another.
