Or - perhaps - I should just worry about my own behavior and let others be who they are.

I'm just like this. I have no talent for choosing my battles. Life seems, strangely, like a battle to me. The whole thing.

What did falling in love do for you? Can you ever really explain it? It filled empty spaces I never knew were empty. It cured a loneliness I never knew I had. It gave me joy. And freedom. I think that was the most amazing part. I suddenly felt both embraced and freed at the same time.

No good ever comes from putting up walls. What people mistake for safety is in fact captivity. And few things thrive in captivity.

Winning doesn't mean my book is better than anyone else's. It means I'm very fortunate. And I should be very, very aware of that. And grateful.

It is very, very dangerous to come between a person and their beliefs.

Foolish people are never harmless. Stupidity accounts for as many crimes as anger and greed.
