All paths lead nowhere; choose one with heart...

Nerds are just deep, and neurotic, fans. Needy fans. We're all nerds, on one subject or another.

You can't be deep without a surface

Music still sort of hangs up there in the sky for me as this thing that moves me so much, but I can't really make it. It's like a car I can't drive.

I don't have a lot of paper in my immediate work environment, except when I'm doing things like checking the godforsaken proofs.

I want to write books that can be read a hundred years from now, and readers wouldn't be bogged down by irrelevant details.

But the day I can't shrug off a twinge of self-pity, is the day I'm washed up for keeps.
