Hapiness is as exclusive as a butterfly, and you must never pursue it. If you stay very still, it may come and settle on your hand. But only briefly. Savour those moments, for they will not come in your way very often.

When you write a novel you have to live with the characters for a long time. So I prefer short stories. I never wrote anything more than 250 pages.

The more you write, the better you will write! So - keep at it!

To return to my own trees, I went among them often, acknowledging their presence with a touch of my hand against their trunks.

and when all the wars are over, a butterfly will still be beautiful.
