I knew it like destiny, and at the same time, I knew it as choice.

Whatever is powerful to you can be translated into something which will matter to somebody that you will never know.

I can't do it. I've been here before and it's not a room with a view. The only power I have is the negative power of withdrawal. If I don't withdraw I have no power at all. A relationship where one person has no power or negative power, isn't a relationship, it's the bond between master and slave.

The body shuts down when it has too much to bear; goes its own way quietly inside, waiting for a better time, leaving you numb and half alive.

We have a generation of kids who may never see a bookshelf or never see books in houses. What are they going to think about books? How will books become meaningful in their lives except as yet another form of digitalized content? A book is not just digitalized content.

I knew it like destiny, and at the same time, I knew it as choice.

Destiny is a worrying concept. I don't want to be fated, I want to choose.
