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.

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.

Actions have consequences... first rule of life. And the second rule is this - you are the only one responsible for your own actions.

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.

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

Anything designed to be inoffensive isn't worth your time -- life itself is pretty offensive, ending as it does with death.

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