You can't know what a book is about until the very end. This is true of a book we're reading or writing.

If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile.

If you can stand to wait 24 hours before you decide the fate of what you have written - either good or bad - you're more likely to see that invisible thing that is invisible for the first few days in any new writing. We just can't know what all is in a sentence until there are several sentences to follow it. Pages of writing need more pages in order to be known, chapters need more chapters.

At the center of everything we call 'the arts,' and children call 'play,' is something which seems somehow alive.

These are very confusing times. For the first time in history a woman is expected to combine: intelligence with a sharp hairdo, a raised consciousness with high heels, and an open, nonsexist relationship with a tan guy who has a great bod.

I do love to eavesdrop. It's inspirational, not only for subject matter but for actual dialogue, the way people talk.

Love will make a way out of no way
