Will we ever reach a point when it is no longer necessary to say Them and Us? I believe we must reach that point, or perish.

What goes on inside isn't ever the same as what goes on outside.

I can't change what's happened to me in my life, or make what's not occurred take place. But I can't say I like it, or accept it, or believe it's for the best. I don't and never shall, not even if I'm damned for it.

Bless me or not, Lord, just as You please, for I'll not beg.

I've never been able to force a novel. I always had the sense something being given to me. You can't sit around and wait until inspiration strikes, but neither can you force into being something that isn't there.

In some families, please is described as the magic word. In our house, however, it was sorry.

Follow your heart, and you perish.
