I get hundreds of emails daily and a lot of feedback from people that are reading or have read my books. When I'm writing, or in my daily life, I just think of the work. I love to tell a story, but I might work with a story to make it the best I can without thinking of how many people will read it or if it will influence anybody.

If I write something, I fear it will happen, and if I love too much, I fear I will lose that person; nevertheless, I cannot stop writing or loving.

Love is music, and sex is only the instrument.

Heroism is a badly remunerated occupation, and often it leads to an early end, which is why it appeals to fanatics or persons with an unhealthy fascination with death.

What I fear most is power with impunity. I fear abuse of power, and the power to abuse.

But I don't want more things than I need, either.

We all have an unsuspected reserve of strength inside that emerges when life puts us to the test.
