The trouble with a lot of people who try to write is they intellectualize about it. That comes after. The intellect is given to us by God to test things once they’re done, not to worry about things ahead of time.

The important thing of any time you live in is to be in love yourself. You float above your time then. It's what you want that counts, not what your time wants.

You don’t question Providence. If you can’t have the reality, a dream is just as good.

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

Mars is empty now. Five hundred years from now, it'll be full of people.

If you did not write every day, the poisons would accumulate and you would begin to die, or act crazy or both-you must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.

All of my writing is God-given.
