Great lovers realize that they are what they are in love with.

Our lives are at once ordinary and mythical. At the same instant we have these magnificent hearts that pump through all sorrow and all winters we are alive on the earth.

Creativity exists in the present moment. You can't find it anywhere else.

All of us can create if we allow ourselves to.

I love and care about literature, and great writers are our teachers. You're studying their mind when you read their work.

We never graduate from first grade. Over and over, we have to go back to the beginning.

A writer must say yes to life.
