Happy Valentines Day to those who have found love, in whatever shape or form, and to those who are still hunting, don't give up. If you feel bad, send yourself a card. You must be worth it.

I like to think the price I paid by being open about my private life helped.

I fell into the books, and left myself there for safekeeping.

Of course that is not the whole story, but that is the way with stories; we make them what we will. It's a way of explaining the universe while leaving the universe unexplained, it's a way of keeping it all alive, not boxing it into time.

I didn't mind being unpopular at school, because everyone else was a heathen.

I am much better at saying how I feel when I no longer feel it.

For fate may hang on any moment and at any moment be changed.
