Autonomy is the whole thing; it's what unhappy people are missing. They have given the power to run their lives to other people.

Some people with awful cards can be successful because of how they deal with the tragedies they're handed, and that seems courageous to me.

Sometimes you are being interviewed by someone and you think, if I knew this person they'd be my best friend. Other times you're being interviewed by a complete jerk.

And if you ever do a survey, you'll find that people prefer illusion to reality, ten to one. Twenty, even.

I think living the blessed life is the luck of the draw.

The 'creator' and the 'editor' - two halves of the writer whole - should sleep in separate rooms.

Writers don't write to inform other people, they write to find out something themselves.
