You have those walls up all around you...Come a day you gonna want to tear them down brick by brick and gonna find that the cement is all hard. What you gonna do then?

You're a part of me...You're in my heart. Forever and always, all right? —D

I think writers are the history keepers, right? We're the ones who are bearing witness to what's going on in the world. And I feel like it's our job to put that down on paper, and put it out into the world, so that it can be remembered.

I couldnt be a writer without hope. I think I became a writer because Im pretty optimistic.

In all your getting, get understanding.

Seems like every time life starts straightening itself out, something's gotta go and happen.

Sometimes...you have to try to forget people you love just so you can keep living.
