Guilt is a good friend, isn't it? It will stand at your back when every other friend has abandoned you, and in the face of all reason it will stay by your side, and even when you tell it, "I am moving on now," it will say, "I shall never leave you; never." If only I could find a lover as faithful as guilt.

A voice speaks to each of us in the still silent places - a voice that tells us to stand, to have courage, to do what is right.

If you have dreams you want to pursue, the time is now. There is no perfect time, and there is no better time. There is only the time you lose while you're making excuses.

You must learn to face the fact, always, that you choose to do what you do, and that everything you do affects not only you but others.

This is writing. You cut out chunks of your own memories, rework them, bleed into them, breathe into the raw clay, and hope the creature lives.

If you don't accept responsibility for your own actions then you are forever chained to a position of defense.
