The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them.

Little by little, writers develop their own styles, each as unique as a fingerprint.

Language does not always have to wear a tie and lace-up shoes.

I think most of us can remember from our own childhood, just in the Disney cartoons, things that frightened us profoundly. For me it was Bambi, the scene when the forest was on fire. That was something I had nightmares about. I can't imagine being a little kid of eight and seeing Night Of The Living Dead with living corpses eating the flesh of living people.

I can't understand why people use religion to hurt each other when there's already so much pain in the world.

Pain is the biggest power of love.

It's strange how pain marks our faces, and makes us look like family.
