Somehow I had turned myself into the worst thing in the world: I was just another man who wanted to teach me something!

There's so much writing I could have done and so many ideas that I had and so many things I wanted to work on that I didn't. I like too much having things in my head rather than doing the work.

I do feel it. And I've felt it my whole life, that the supernatural has a role in the world.

I've always had individual friends, but I didn't find the people I wanted to learn from as an adult until my midtwenties.

You have to know where the funny is, and if you know where the funny is, you know everything.
