Usually I decide on what it is I'm writing next by the books I'm reading.

One cannot always marry the person one loves.

I am not a fan of historical fiction that is sloppy in its research or is dishonest about the real history.

There comes always a moment when the desire to act, however ill the cause, is stronger than the wish to listen.

Pas a pas, se va luenh. Step by step, we make our way.

History is written by the victors, the strongest, the most determined. Truth is found most often in the silence, in the quiet places.

What we leave behind in this life is the memory of who we were and what we did. An imprint, no more.
