I love you and I forgive you. I am like you and you are like me. I love all people. I love the world. I love creating. Everything in our life should be based on love.

I had decided to be a magician well before I decided to be a writer. I was the little boy who would get up on-stage and do magic wearing a fake mustache, which would fall off during the performance. I'm still trying to perform those tricks. Now I do it with writing.

Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage.

For if we're destroyed, the knowledge is dead...We're nothing more than dust jackets for books...so many pages to a person.

I want your loves to be multiple. I don't want you to be a snob about anything. Anything you love, you do it.

The reason I shift gears constantly, why I'm doing an opera, why I've done essays, why I've written poetry for years that nobody wanted, why I do short stories and novels and screenplays... is so I will have new ways of failing. This means becoming a student again.

In order for a thing to be horrible it has to suffer a change you can recognize.
