Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.

Every word is a messenger. Some have wings; some are filled with fire; some are filled with death.

It's very important to write things down instantly, or you can lose the way you were thinking out a line. I have a rule that if I wake up at 3 in the morning and think of something, I write it down. I can't wait until morning - it'll be gone.

I wanted to hurry into the work of my life; I wanted to know, whoever I was, I was alive for a little while.

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.

There are a hundred paths through the world that are easier than loving. But who wants easier?

You must not ever stop being whimsical. And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life.
