I would rather be right and die than be wrong and kill.

I have never yet figured out what to do about good advice that you get, and that you know right away would help you, but that you cannot follow.

The only place you will be accepted is the place you make for yourself.

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

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.

Adventures are only interesting once you've lived to see the end of them. Before that, they are nothing but fear, and being too cold or too hot or too wet or too hungry, and getting hurt.

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.
