Writing is the crack through which you can crawl into a bigger world, into your wild mind.

Actually, every time we begin, we wonder how we did it before, Each time is a new journey with no maps.

We shouldn't forget that the universe moves with us, is at our back with everything we do.

I honor English majors. It's a dumb thing to major in. It leads nowhere. It's good to be dumb, it allows us to love something for no reason. That's the best kind of love.

Write what disturbs you, what you fear, what you have not been willing to speak about. Be willing to be split open.

We are important and our lives are important, magnificent really, and their details are worthy to be recorded.

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