A span of a few heartbeats can make for a greater memory than the sum of a mundane year.-Catti-brie

Writing is an incredibly lonely job.

I shudder at the concept of a world tamed.

Never confuse honor with stupidity!

There's way too much pain in this business for anyone who doesn't HAVE to write.

We are all dying, every moment that passes of every day. That is the inescapable truth of this existence. It is a truth that can paralyze us with fear, or one that can energize us with impatience, with the desire to explore and experience, with the hope- nay, the iron-will!- to find a memory in every action. To be alive, under sunshine, or starlight, in weather fair or stormy. To dance with every step, be they through gardens of flowers or through deep snows.

I have come to know that it [death] is an important thing to keep in mind - not to complain or to make melancholy, but simply because only with the honest knowledge that one day I will die I can ever truly begin to live.
