Scars are stories, history written on the body

I can't work out much about myself or what I see in the world around me unless I do it through writing.

My days are as long as despair can make them.

Writing is how I stay sane. It's completely necessary.

For me, writing is inseparable from thinking. I could say the entire undertaking is a vast cerebral construct against my demons. It's the thing that I love. It's my identity.

Sometimes there's a sort of tear in the veil, and there are people who live in more than one dimension.

We're taught to expect unconditional love from our parents, but I think it is more the gift our children give us. It's they who love us helplessly, no matter what or who we are.
