I love the rain. I want the feeling of it on my face.

It's a terrible thing to be alone - yes it is - it is - but don't lower your mask until you have another mask prepared beneath - as terrible as you like - but a mask.

I am a recluse at present & do nothing but write & read & read & write

If you wish to live, you must first attend your own funeral.

I am poor - obscure - just eighteen years of age - with a rapacious appetite for everything and principles as light as my purse.

There is no feeling to be compared with the feeling of having written and finished a story.

It is of immense importance to learn to laugh at ourselves.
