I wrote to explain my own life to myself, stories are the vessels I use to interpret the world to myself.

All life connects ... Nothing happens that is meaningless.

Anyone who knows me well must understand and be sympathetic to my genuine need to be my own greatest hero. It is not a flaw of character; it is a catastrophe.

I don’t know why it is that I have always been happier thinking of somewhere I have been or wanted to go, than where I am at the time. I find it difficult to be happy in the present.

A family is one of nature's solubles; it dissolves in time like salt in rainwater.

Some things don’t mix. Some things don’t mix at all, but sometimes in life you have to take the risk.

Except for memory, time would have no meaning at all.
