I still miss those I loved who are no longer with me but I find I am grateful for having loved them. The gratitude has finally conquered the loss.

If you don't like my book, write your own.

Life is unjust, people can be cruel, and yet if you harden your heart, you will lose what little love there is in this world.

There are very few people who are creative and imaginative. Therefore, fiction is difficult for people to embrace.

As for loving woman, I have never understood why some people had a fit. I still don't. It seems fine to me. If an individual is productive responsible, and energetic, why should her choice in a partner make such a fuss? The government is only too happy to take my tax money and yet they uphold legislation that keeps me a second class citizen. Surely, there should be a tax break for those of us who are robbed of full and equal participation and protection in the life of our nation.

I don't want to die. I think death is a greatly overrated experience.

Never measure literature by accounting statistics. A quarter of working authors earn less than $1,000.
