I regret how much I believed in the future.

I always write out of a need to read something, rather than a need to write something.

It was one of the best days of my life, a day during which I lived my life and didn't think about my life at all.

Literature was the only religion her father practiced, when a book fell on the floor he kissed it, when he was done with a book he tried to give it away to someone who would love it.

The only thing more painful than being an active forgetter is to be an inert rememberer.

I know you look both ways before you cross the street, but I want you to look both ways a second time, because I told you to.

The only thing worse than being sad is for others to know you are sad.
