I return to problems i can't solve, not because i am an idiot, but because the real problems can't be solved. The universe is expanding. The more we see, the more we discover there is to see. Always a new beginning, a different end.

I don't believe in happy endings.

It's hard to remember that this day will never come again. That the time is now and the place is here and that there are no second chances at a single moment.

Organized religion is a very bad way of passing on spiritual values because it becomes so corrupted with political and repressive agendas which don't help anybody to develop their spirituality.

I think of myself in a continuum as a woman. Two hundred years ago, it would have been very difficult for me to write at all.

I’m not club-able, you see. I don’t like literary parties and literary gatherings and literary identities. I’d hate to join anything, however loosely.

I think we still believe that ambition is for boys.
