I was being paid to do what I loved, and there's no gig on earth better than that; it's like a license to steal.

Without story books is like a person with no soul.

A person who doesn't learn from the past is an idiot, in my estimation.

People don't get better, they just get smarter. When you get smarter you don't stop pulling the wings off flies, you just think of better reasons for doing it.

Go now. Our journey is done. And may we meet again, in the clearing, at the end of the path.

Don't let the sun go down without saying thank you to someone, and without admitting to yourself that absolutely no one gets this far alone.

A short story is a different thing all together - a short story is like a kiss in the dark from a stranger.
