There’s an Oriental saying I like: “If aggression meets empty space it tends to defeat itself.

To anyone who knows a writer, never underestimate the power of your encouragement.

I have both held and beheld unlimited power and of it I know but one thing. It drives men mad.' - Alexander the Great

There’s an Oriental saying I like: “If aggression meets empty space it tends to defeat itself.

A friend's loyalty lasts longer than their memory. Over the course of a long friendship, you might fight with your friend, even get angry with them. But a true friend will forget that anger after a while, because their loyalty to their friend outweighs the memory of the disagreement.

One of the things I have come up against time and again in my career is the notion that because a book is easy to read it was somehow easy to write.

There is no such thing as an "aspiring writer". You are a writer. Period.
