We are too connected. There's noise in our heads all the time.

Just as Daniel Balalcazar said, it makes no sense to suffer in advance a misfortune that may never occur.

Love is a free contract that begins with a spark and can end the same way.

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

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.

Happiness is pure kitch; we come into the world to suffer and learn.

The last time I was in Chile, I was hypnotized by a friend who is studying to be a curandero, a healer, who led me back through several incarnations. It wasn't easy to return to the present, however, since my friend hadn't reached that part of the course, but the experiment was well worth the effort because I discovered that in former lives I was not Genghis Khan, as my mother believes.
