The problem is we think we exist.

I remember a friend many years ago who had taped a sign to his refrigerator: There's a dream dreaming us. If you try to think about what that means it makes your mind silly, but that silliness is good.

To encounter a fine book and have time to read it is a wonderful thing.

Writing is the act of discovery.

Have compassion for yourself when you write. There is no failure - just a big field to wander in.

We walk through so many myths of each other and ourselves; we are so thankful when someone sees us for who we are and accepts us.

Wait until you are hungry to say something, until there is an aching in you to speak.
