I don't care what people come at me with. People have come at me with everything you could imagine. I could care less about that.

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

I think of how and why and what happened and the thoughts come easily, but the answers don't.

When something is staring you in the face in your life and you see it with your own two eyes and feel it within your heart only a fool doesn't believe it to be true.

Let things be, let yourself be, let everything be and accept it as it is. Nothing more. Nothing less.

For the most profound experiences in our lives and in the world words are worth nothing. Can you describe love Or death Can you describe what it really feels like the first time you see your child Or the first time your heart gets broken You can try...but it won't come close to describing what it really was or what it really felt like.

There is, though, nothing that prepares us for the worst things in our life. There is nothing you can do to stop the shock, or buffer the pain.
