Hey, that's life, flick it off if you can't take a joke.

It begins, as most things begin, with a song.

Leave no path untaken.

Because, if one is writing novels today, concentrating on the beauty of the prose is right up there with concentrating on your semi-colons, for wasted effort.

Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called.

You're brave. You are the bravest person I know, and you are my friend. I don't care if you are imaginary.

I suppose the point you grow up is the point you let the dreams go.
