Feeling is not selective, I keep telling you that. You can’t feel pain, you aren’t gonna feel anything else, either.

I can write for a long time on one novel and not get tired.

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

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

Depression is not sobbing and crying and giving vent, it is plain and simple reduction of feeling.

People that keep stiff upper lips find that it's hard to smile.
