Sometimes you never feel meaner than the moment you stop being mean.

I never write with any kind of message, and I don't think that this book, 'Goodbye, Stranger' has a message in the capital M form of the word but I do hope it makes people ask themselves questions about what they think.

I think if you can take something out and it doesn't change the book, it doesn't need to be there.

Many of the books on my list are, in my opinion, amazing. Some I didn't like. But I give them all five stars, because stars make people - including me -- happy.

I don't know. I just feel stuck, like I'm afraid to take any steps, in case they're the wrong ones.

But every person has to learn to accept what has happened in the past. Without bitterness. Or there is no point in continuing with life.

The truth is that I think that most people, and most people in this book, 'Goodbye, Stranger', are really doing their best but they're stumbling all over the place and they're hurting each other deliberately and by accident.
