That's what ever great writer, I believe, has done over the course of time - is they've figured out new ways of telling the same stories.

There is no such things as God's word on earth. Or if there is it is not to be found in books. -Then where is it to be found?- In love. In the laughter of children. In a gift given. In a life saved. In the quiet of morning. In the dead of night. In the sound of the ocean, or the sound of a car. It can be found in anything, anywhere. It is the fabric of our lives, our feelings, the people we live with, things we know to be real.

Be strong. Live honorably and with dignity. When you don't think you can, hold on.

Being a writer now is about so much more than writing. There's publishing, touring, marketing, web presence.

I go to my Room and I drink and I smoke some cigarettes and I think about her. I drink and I smoke and I think about her and at a certain point blackness comes and my memory fails me.

There are never words for the strongest of our feelings. There is just the pain that we cannot share. Pain we must all feel alone.

I want as much time in the darkness as I can possibly have. The darkness provides cover, the darkness provides places to hide and the darkness provides comfort. Darkness usually comes around dinner, but dinner would be too obvious.
