I talk to my readers on social networking sites, but I never tell them what the book is about. Writing is lonely, so from time to time I talk to them on the Internet. It's like chatting at a bar without leaving your office. I talk with them about a lot of things other than my books.

Coincidence is the language of the stars, for something to happen, so many forces have to be put into action.

One can abandon one's personal legend for a time, as long as one does not forget about it entirely and returns to it as soon as possible.

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love. Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity. I've fallen in love many times... always with you. What I need to live has been given to me by the earth. Why I need to live has been given to me by you. Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning.

In dire times you can lose joy, but you can't lose hope. Hope is your guide.

I don't know what's going to happen to me tomorrow. That's why I don't save my best for last.

All the world needs are examples of people capable of living out their dreams and fighting for their ideas.
